💠Every few blog entries, I'll recommend two books from my reading list. I'm a very eccentric reader, so I'll post everything from historical fiction to homicidal manifestos.
1.
"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
If you've read this bedazzling classic already...let's not spoil it for those who haven't.
And for those who haven't...did you know that the supposed greatest love story ever was actually the greatest rebound story ever? You're welcome 😄
Shakespeare is the premier of all extremely wise and enduring figures in English literature. If you want to receive some 200-year-old wisdom that is scarily relevant to our TikTok, screenshot-saturated times, look no further.

A far-cry from the summery afternoons of Shakespeare's Venice, 'i am the rage' is a poetry anthology of cosmic power. An ode to the human condition, to the "sadness we carry in ordinary times", it traces the deep and wide gamut of life on the wrong side of the black/white racial divide. As you will see in this beautiful book, not even race itself is a black and white issue.
Recommended for a thought-provoking reading experience. It resonated with me, as a woman of colour, and I know it will have something to teach you too.
