Things James Baldwin Said That Stuck With Me
Baldwin captures the Black experience in 1963, and here we are in 2025, still resonating with every word. That’s heartbreaking. That’s infuriating. That’s the reality. Read it. Feel it. Pass it on. #TheFireNextTime #JamesBaldwin #RequiredReading #BookReview #ReadBlackAuthors #boo

Why you should read JAMES BALDWIN🖤
I read my first James Baldwin a few years ago and immediately fell in love. He was such a talented writer with the ability to craft both fiction and nonfiction work. My most recent Baldwin was The Fire Next Time and it blew me away. I can’t wait to read more of his work. Up next: Giovanni’s Room
