I did a video recently where I read for 35 min with chill music in the background. I like doing these types of videos as motivation to help get some books read and off my ever growing TBR pile. Check it out if you haven’t already.
Hey everyone! 👋🏽 I posted a video update on what I plan to read for the month of July. I feel a lot more motivated this month than I did last month and I’m looking forward to getting a lot of reading done. With reading I’ll also be participating in camp nanowrimo again so I’ll be busy but I’m looking forward to it. 😊
Let me know what you’re reading in July? Or if you’re participating in any readathons.
Thanks for stopping by
Xoxo Nikki🤎
This is a collection of poems that are centered around hip-hop, and how it influenced the author growing up. There are lots of poems about how it is being black growing up in an inner city. The author talks about the crime against black boys and black men and how the jail cell is where most will end up, due to how our society is today.
As a black woman myself reading this gave me a big insight on the constant trouble that my community is still facing today. I mostly fear for black men and black boys. I feel like they have it hard because our society and the media depicts them as dangerous, uneducated and violent and that’s not case.
As a mother to a young black boy I would like him to read this when he is older. This collection of poems has a great message and it keeps you thinking long after you’ve read it. I enjoyed it and I do see myself re reading it in the future.

**I want to thank netgalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read and review this for my own honest review and opinion***
I posted a quick video on my YouTube channel doing a product review of a curly hair product. In the video I’m sharing my experience with using the product and explaining if I like the product or not. I know this isn’t book related but here on this blog and my YouTube channel I do like to do videos on beauty related topics. So hope you like the video as this was my first time doing something like this on my channel.
