It’s Finally Hereeeee
Happy belated Pub Day to a book I’ve been wanting for MONTHS. As someone who works in both literature and art… it’s a must read. I’m really excited to see how Weathersby confronts, interrogates and makes room for the afterlives of slavery.

Weathersby invites readers to interrogate societal norms and engage with art that challenges the status quo. It is a critical read for those interested in the intersection of race, art, and literature, making it essential for literary discussions and explorations.
