Black South Carolina authors need to be recognized on National Author's Day. National Author's Day is November 1st.

Did you know there are certain books that kids can’t read in school? Well it’s officially banned books week. Books: Beloved and The Bluest Eye by Pulitzer Prize, Nobel Prize, and Medal of Freedom recipient, author Toni Morrison are on the list. I’ve had The Bluest Eye on my books to read list. Dang, it’s almost exactly 1 year and I haven’t read it. Like they say, life be lifing. Are you reading anything?

Fun Fact, The Toni Morrison Society has a bench on Sullivan’s Island, SC to honor the enslaved that did and didn’t make it through The Middle Passage of The Transatlantic Slave Trade. I’d heard about it and finally came across it this summer.

It’s National Donut Day!! 🍩

When I’m in the mood for a great tasty donut in Charleston I like to go to Glaze. It’s located on King Street Downtown.

Where do you like to get your donuts from?
