Celebrating Pride Month: A Just Another Day on the Island Feature

Hey mersquad coven!

I hope everyone has been doing okay. I know I personally haven’t been, and as much as I have been wanting to avoid social media completely, my best support system has been on Twitter so I can’t stay away. Thank you to my friends that have been keeping me grounded and safe and loved during these difficult times, because without you, I would be struggling even more right now.

So this is totally a week late (but hey, this is kind of perfect because I’m posting this literally the day before my birthday so it works out either way), and I got to have my baby bro ask some questions about Pride Month because he is an expert on asking some really hard hitting questions that really make my mom and I think about the world around us.

Just Another Day on the Island is a bi-weekly discussion post featuring the thoughts and ramblings of the Untalan Clan (aka, Leelynn’s mom and brother). We talk about books, family, and other things that come to mind. This feature officially launched on March 25, 2020.

Mersquad coven! How are you, my friends. I’m slowly trying to get my head together, but things are still pretty intense for me. I think yesterday was one of my worse days (meaning today as I’m typing this to you right now). How are you doing? If any of you need to talk about anything, I’ll listen to you. You know how to contact me.

Yay for my second Black Girl Magic book this month. I feel like I don’t read enough books about Black girls from Black authors, and I know I need to change that. I also like seeing these Black girls having powers, using these powers and just being their own people. Being proud to be Black. I wish I could be the same. I was so excited to be a part of this blog tour because it’s soooo rare that I get to receive ARCs for Black YA novels from Black authors (which I feel is really weird? But okay) so this happens to be one of them that I really wanted to make sure that I got to speak about.
