So where are the publishers and publications that are writing about how amazing, phenomenal, glorious, peng and unstoppable Black womxn are? Tag them below!
Ok. I& #39;ll start.

@onwe_press founding by @TheArtofMariam & @renikamayo
Then we have the phenomenal @BeeBabs with Love in Colour

Imagine a whole book where Black women are the prize!

Then @alexsheppard is giving us real #BlackGirlMagic

A Black girl doing whose Dad happens to be an Ancient Greek God? Preposterous!

Black girls having a voice. Black girls having a choice. Does that exist? It seems so unrealistic.

Until @angiecthomas does it and you finally feel seen.

Slight intermission but every morning I wake up and remember that we were forced to ensure that BGBC was the best book club / producer of live literature events / Black book influencers and cultural tastemakers in the UK because publishers continue to ignore Black womxn
Mate. I just want to rest and be medicore

But cos y& #39;all like to pretend Black womxn don& #39;t exist I had to create a whole 1st UK fest dedicated to Black womxn writer having @BritishVogue featured @thebookseller award winning @MariahCarey approved @BloomsburyBooks author somebody
Are you lot understanding that I had to get a whole @MariahCarey to approve my book club because y& #39;all keep pushing the fact that Black womxn aren& #39;t worthy of anything decent or good
Black women can& #39;t be sexually or financially free. Can& #39;t speak patois in literary fiction

Unrealistic

Then you realise that in 1937 Zora Neale Hurston gave us Womanist theory, respected our mother tongue and let us know that man can& #39;t tek us fi eediat

A fat Black girl living her life like its golden despite the fact that WE created the body posi movement?

Shock. Horror.

Then @StephanieYeboah comes through with the real realness and y& #39;all start to feel uncomfortable

https://amzn.to/3lUqDW6 ">https://amzn.to/3lUqDW6&q...
Black girls don& #39;t do fairytales

And yet @brownbookworm exists

Anyway I& #39;m tiyad. Publishers and publishing professionals. Show. Dem. Books.

I want y& #39;all to introduce me to the books you& #39;re publishing that centre Black women and aren& #39;t traumatic. Don& #39;t force the forbidden love narrative. Aren& #39;t rooted in slavery. Don& #39;t amplify abuse.
Final thing. Y& #39;all keep posting up Black squares but all now @kuchengcheng and @kelechnekoff books aren& #39;t available for me to pre-order

You got into publishing because you have a passion for books, because you want to invoke change?

Give these two baby girls all the coins then
Black girls are too fast. Too grown Bigger Rude Mature. Undeserving of content and advice aimed at them Dont need protection. Love. Understanding or forgiveness.
They know too much. Don& #39;t know enough

So we wrote GROWN. The Black girls guide to growing up
