She deserves this too 🖤 srcooper.org​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

5/8 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who has always sought representation in literature, I find that sapphic romance books offer an incredible space for connection and validation, especially for Black queer women. These stories not only provide romantic escapism but also tackle important themes like self-acceptance, identity, and the joy of coming out — all crucial for marginalized communities. The hashtags like #YouCanComeOutNow and #BlackWomenRead resonate deeply, reflecting a growing movement to uplift voices often underrepresented in mainstream media. Engaging with such novels opened doors for me to celebrate my own journey and see reflections of my experiences in characters who navigate love, challenge societal norms, and embrace their true selves. I highly recommend exploring works highlighted in communities around #SapphicRomance and #QueerBooks. This not only enriches the reading experience but also supports diverse authors who bring unique perspectives to the literary world. Through their stories, we are reminded that everyone deserves love and happiness — truly, she deserves this too.

​He sees your mess. He still wants you.
First Assembly of God God isn’t looking for a polished version of you. He doesn't say “come to Me once you’ve cleaned up the mess.” He says come while you are still heavy-laden. You don't have to fix yourself to come to Him. You come to Him so He can fix you. 🕊️✨ Watch until the end.
