Black History Month is officially over, but I read Black books all year! I celebrate Black writers and the monumental impact they have had in my life. Because of Black writers I have been able to see the greatness within myself, cultivate creativity within my spirit and quite literally heal my soul. Below is a list of books by Black authors that I read at times I was desperately seeking healing. While turning the pages I not only found healing, I discovered my strength and resilience. I also gained the tools that aided me in becoming a better writer. For more books by Black authors both past and present, fiction and non-fiction, follow my #bookstagram account @amirasbookclub The legacy of Black writers is a legacy I hope to carry. As I continue to read their words I hope to one day be able to write a work of art that inspires in the same way.
