A Gardin Wedding from Rosey Lee @Rosey Lee A Gardin Wedding May 13, 2025 A Gardin Wedding: A Gardins of Edin Novel Book Cover Images image of A Gardin Wedding: A Gardins of Edin Novel by Rosey Lee BOOK REVIEW IN AALBC https://aalbc.com/book_review/9780593445518 MY REVIEW “When we really fell for each other, the rules we were playing by changed.” These wise words from Martha, a character in A Gardin Wedding by Rosey Lee, encapsulate the novel’s emotional depth. As the second book in the A Gardins of Edin series, it explores growth in a premarital environment through characters spanning various adult age groups. The theme of personal and relational development forms the core of the story. Lee employs gentle comedy and elegant, illustrative descriptions of fashion to shift the novel’s tone. The two main characters, a couple introduced in the first book, find their love intertwined with a broader cast than before. While Lee guarantees a happy ending in her preface, any reader will likely question that certainty at some point. A Gardin Wedding retains the stylistic elements and framework of the first book but expands its scope, presenting dramatic love across two clans instead of just one. Unlike many authors' sequels, Lee refrains from heavy exposition—a skill often lacking in follow-up novels. She beautifully portrays the love of Black people through belle couture, bringing richness and sophistication to her descriptions. Malcolm X once said, “I was going through the hardest thing, also the greatest thing, for any human being to do: to accept that which is already within you, and around you.” Every couple in A Gardin Wedding is navigating distinct phases of accepting what is already between them and around them. That environment—a thriving, mature, and financially successful Black community—made for an immensely joyful and rewarding read.1 point

The Gardins of Edin from Rosey Lee The Gardins of Edin Jan 09, 2024 The Gardins of Edin Book Cover Images image of The Gardins of Edin by Rosey Lee @Rosey Lee BOOK REVIEW IN AALBC https://aalbc.com/book_review/9780593445495 MY REVIEW “What if I’m not too old to have a happy childhood now?” is a poignant line from the character Ruth in The Gardins of Edin by Rosey Lee, a novel that begins with apprehension and confusion but ends with a sense of fulfillment. The book explores modern relationship dynamics, with a central theme of personal growth: healing from the past, being steady in the present, and not seeking perfection in the future. Not every character in the book learns or desires this lesson, but it lies at the heart of each of their stories. The story is driven by four central characters: Ruth, who manages a family business that has long been a pillar in the local community; Naomi, the emotional center of the family; Mary, an aspiring restaurateur; and her sister Martha, a doctor. These four Black women from the south are each on a journey of self-discovery, while also grappling with the evolving dynamics of their family and community. The novel, which spans roughly 300 pages, has two main plot arcs that delve into their personal and shared challenges. While some characters may evoke frustration with their negativity, the book never suggests that their futures will be entirely bleak. Instead, it’s a feel-good drama that features flawed, realistic characters whose weaknesses are neither exaggerated nor overly moralized. For fans of well-crafted, character-driven stories with genuine emotional depth, this book is a great fit. Although the back cover hints at larger conflicts, the story isn’t about grand battles over empires; it's more about the internal struggles and infighting within a close-knit community. The characters wrestle with concealing painful pasts, and the hidden scars of that past pose real threats to their relationships. These conflicts are handled with sincerity, never veering into melodrama or caricature, but they do create the possibility of lasting damage if left unresolved. The novel doesn’t position itself as a guide on mental or physical health, but it does offer insights into both. Through the characters' struggles, the value of mental and heart health is subtly highlighted, adding another layer of depth to the story. I found myself learning more about these topics without the narrative losing focus or becoming preachy. The readers’ guide at the end of the book revealed something I should have noticed right away—if it had been a snake, it would have bitten me! While The Gardins of Edin may seem like a clear reference to the biblical Garden of Eden, the book doesn’t feel like a Christian allegory or preach to the reader. The Christianity of some characters is important to their individual stories, but it doesn’t dominate the narrative or alienate readers of different beliefs. Finally, this book sets up its characters in such a way that a sequel could easily follow, though it’s not necessary. By the end, The Gardins have found peace, and the story feels complete as it is.1 point

The tragedy of spider man is he is the last major piece of marvel that needs to be reabsorbed into the main and Sony will never give him up. Disney bought 20th century fox to absorb the xmen into marvel. But sony will never give up spider man. I even argue that the sony live action films are designed to hold rights but are saboteurs cause: madame web/kraven the hunter/morbius/venom 3 are all crap. While people praise sony animation, for their spider verse, sony live action is atrocious. The good news for Feige is in the Xmen storm can blow miles morales out the spouts. But story wise I think it is good Miles Morales , a black white character, the black spider man , can't be in the mcu for a simple storytelling reason. Mile s Morales whole storyline is dependent on the multiverse. If you take the multiverse out of miles morales story, you literally have a cheap colored version of peter parker's storyline with alot of infinitely repeated non white european characters in white written or white based fiction. Black self righteous father law enforcer who speaks of the community he lives in unending negative ways Spanglish speaking mulatto latina who blurts out in spanish whenever she is angry and always has a moment of dancing and continues the tired tradition of the black mom in white media beforehand And I am very happy Black Superman didn't happen. I can't stand black superman, or any black white character. so many black people have actually written black characters. Even though storm was written by a white man which is clear to see, at least her and Nubia are originally supposed to be black. But... please spider man/superman, please stop this. Glad the miles morales movies made money, very glitzy, glammy, not great story. And I hope part 3 makes the most, but I am not a fan of these. Blood Syndicate from Milestone1 point

Nina Simone music, if bold it is a cover to a white written song. if underscore it is a cover of a black song. Comprehend, covers are unique things, it matters who sings and provides instrumentals to any music. Don't anyone tell you otherwise. I Loves You Porgy I Put A Spell On You - complete album My Baby Just Cares For Me Little Girl Blue NOTE: Because she had sold her rights outright for $3,000, Simone lost more than $1 million in royalties (notably for the 1980s re-release of her version of the jazz standard "My Baby Just Cares for Me") and never benefited financially from the album's sales Brown Baby Brown Baby Oscar brown jr Brown baby brown baby As you grow up I want you to drink from the plenty cup I want you to stand up tall and proud And I want you to speak up clear and loud Brown baby brown baby brown baby As years go by I want you to go with your head up high I want you to live by the justice code And I want you to walk down freedom's road You little brown baby So lie away lie away spleeping lie away singing Lie away sleeping lie away safe in my arms Till your daddy and you mama protect you? nd keep you safe from harm Brown baby It makes me glad you gonna have things that I never had When out of men's heart all hate is hurled Sweetie you gonna live in a better world Brown baby brown baby brown baby Lyrics by OScar Brown Sin and Soul full album of OScar Brown Zungo Someone please find them, he is speaking a nigerian tongue by Michael Olatunji Afro PErcussion full album by Michael Olatunji Mississippi Goddam Mississippi Goddam Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam Can't you see it, can't you feel it It's all in the air I can't stand the pressure much longer Somebody say a prayer Alabama's gotten me so upset Tennessee made me lose my rest And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam If you know this song You can join in with us Hound dogs on my trail School children sitting in jail Black cat cross my path I think every day's gonna be my last Lord have mercy on this land of mine We all gonna get it in due time I don't belong here, I don't belong there I've even stopped believing in prayer Don't tell me, I tell you Me and my people just about due I've been there so I know They keep on saying "Go slow!" Well, that's just the trouble "Too slow" Washing the windows "Too slow" Picking the cotton "Too slow" You're just plain rotten "Too slow" Too damn lazy "Too slow" Thinking's crazy "Too slow" Where am I going What am I doing I don't know I don't know Just tryin' to do my very best Stand up be counted with all the rest Cause everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam You afraid of that word? Picket lines, school boy cots They try to say it's a communist plot All I want is equality For my sisters, my brothers, my people and me You lied to me all these years You told me to wash and clean my ears And talk real fine just like a lady You'd stop calling me Sister Sadie Oh but my country is full of lies You're all gonna die and die like flies Cause I don't trust you any more You keep on saying "Go slow!" That's just the trouble Too slow Desegregation Too slow Mass participation Too slow Reunification Too slow Do things gradually Too slow But bring more tragedy Too slow Why don't you feel it Why don't you see it I don't know I don't know You don't have to live next to me Just give me my equality Cause everybody knows about Mississippi Everybody knows about Alabama Everybody knows about Ronald Reagan Everybody knows about Margareth Tatcher Everybody knows about Ronald Reagan Everybody knows about Jesse Jackson Everybody knows about Michael Jackson Everybody knows about Everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam Goddam Lyrics by Nina Simone Nina Simone In Concert Full Album Four Women My skin is black My arms are long My hair is woolly My back is strong Strong enough to take the pain Inflicted again and again What do they call me? My name is Aunt Sarah My name is Aunt Sarah, Aunt Sarah My skin is yellow My hair is long Between two worlds I do belong My father was rich and white He forced my mother late one night What do they call me? My name is Saffronia My name is Saffronia My skin is tan My hair is fine My hips invite you My mouth like wine Whose little girl am I? Anyone who has money to buy What do they call me? My name is Sweet Thing My name is Sweet Thing My skin is brown My manner is tough I'll kill the first mother I see My life has been rough I'm awfully bitter these days 'Cause my parents were slaves What do they call me? My name is Peaches Lyrics by Nina Simone Ain't Got No, I Got Life NOTE: A medley of two songs "Aint Got No" + " I Got Life" To be Young Gifted and Black Young, gifted and black Oh what a lovely precious dream To be young, gifted and black Open your heart to what I mean In the whole world you know There's a million boys and girls Who are young, gifted and black And that's a fact! You are young, gifted and black We must begin to tell our young There's a world waiting for you Yours is the quest that's just begun When you feel really low Yeah, there's a great truth that you should know When you're young, gifted and black Your soul's intact To be young, gifted and black Oh, how I've longed to know the truth There are times when I look back And I am haunted by my youth Oh but my joy of today Is that we can all be proud to say To be young, gifted and black Is where it's at Is where it's at Is where it's at Lyrics by Nina Simone + Weldone Irvine LIVE 1969 - She introduced the song on August 17, 1969, to a crowd of 50,000 at the Harlem Cultural Festival, captured on broadcast video tape and released in 2021 as the documentary film Summer of Soul. I admit I like this song, lets have another live recording, Nina Simone was done with the recording industry anyway Audio Recording Yes, I can't listen to be young gifted and black and not shed a tear thinking on black people the world over against the various whites, and one more tear for my own tribe in the village in their naturally dangerous peccadillium/place of sin/U.S.A. Nina Simone on Malcolm X Malcolm X to me, was the most important , the most important spokesman we have ever had, in this country for black people, bar none, and everything he said i agreed with, everything he said, i agreed with, and I was absolutely... I am still not over the fact that he is gone, and I really would like to say that I think it is black people's fault that he is dead, just as it is black peoples fault that martin luther king is dead, they didn't give them any protection, they ran them away, they followed them, but they didn't protect them, they willing to die but they not willing to kill, hey man, I get upset when I think about it, I get upset, and that is one of the reasons I don't live in this country, cause there is no protection https://www.tumblr.com/afriblaq/764152297355984896 https://www.tumblr.com/afriblaq/764152297355984896 my thoughts Can I get an Amen. But Nina Simone's point is huge here. What Nina Simone is really saying is the Black Church, Historical Black Colleges+ Institutions, Black elected officials, Black business owners didn't protect Black advocates or black artists, and she is correct. I love how she said black people ran both Malcolm + martin away which I know from black people who lived in the 1960s is true, but you never hear from black people alive then in media today. The only two groups that honestly talked of honest protection were the panthers+ nation of islam. but the nation of islam outside Malcolm's leadership did it only for members. While the panthers were criminalized by black churches/black elected officials/black business owners for their stance on defense. So many black artist+ advocates were injured or attacked in the usa and never had any protection, and the black church being the most important black institution had to be most responsible.1 point

Everybody black love's roberta flack. Her first album's first song is written by a Black man , the odd thing is, the album became financially viable because it was used in the Clint Eastwood film Play Misty for Me which is a psychological thriller, specifically the song "the first time I ever saw your face", he only spent two thousand dollars for the rights COMPARED TO WHAT I love to lie and lie to love I'm hangin' on they push and shove Possession is the motivation That is hangin' up the goddamn nation Looks like we always end up in a rut Everybody now Tryin' to make it real compared to what Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs Twisted children killin' frogs Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs Tired old ladies kissin' dogs I hate the human love of that stinking mutt I can't use it Tryin' to make it real compared to what President he's got his war Folks don't know just what it's for Nobody gives us rhyme or reason Have one doubt they call it treason We're chicken feathers All without one nut goddamn it Tryin' to make it real compared to what Church on Sunday sleep and nod Tryin' to duck the wrath of God Preachers fillin' us with fright They all tryin' to teach us what they think is right They really got to be some kind of nut I can't use it Tryin' to make it real compared to what Where's that bee and where's that honey Where's my God and where's my money Unreal values a crass distortion Unwed mothers need abortion Kind of brings to mind old young King Tut He did it now Tried to make it real compared to what Tryin' to make it real compared to what Songwriters: Gene Mcdaniels.

Year of the Snake Chinese New Year in 2025- Jan 29 2025 The year of the snake is meant to be a year of intelligence + inconsiderateness. Remember the idea of yin-yang is very present in many chinese schools of thought so it isn't merely what is emphasized that is positive but also what is negative. Intelligence in this case means search for knowledge which at its most negative is inconsiderate to the ramifications of such searches. Dynamite with the noble prize, the nuclear bomb by oppenheimer, the 1900s computer by turing, all of these were acts of knowledge, the person that started these technologies wasn't a warrior but each regardless to their intentions had an inconsiderateness in their quest for knowledge to the dangers and destruction their technology in its form or advanced would bring. Turing was punished for being a homosexual, at least in my view, so he took his life after the second phase of the war of white european empires. Oppenheimer had a role in giving the nuclear tech to russia to make sure the usa alone didn't have the technology which post hiroshima + nagasaki , which I can tell you from a first hand source was not needed militaristically, the usa proved it shouldn't have possession of any nuclear weapons and at the least none alone. Noble has a prize still awarded in his name, dynamite did tons of damage on the battlefield or to environments. I know some in the knowledge community, science[from the latin] means knowledge not wisdom or arithmetics [mathematics [[from the hellenistic]] means knowledge too, not arithmetics or wisdom],view the acquisition of knowledge is to be achieved regardless of how it is used. It is inconsiderate of inconsiderations , assuming a faith based notion to it. So the most positive outlook is to help those you can with your knowledge, embrace the erudition to derive more knowledge, and be careful of inconsiderations. It is a wood year, so wood is strongest at springtime, the colors are greens or blues. Wood deals with growth, which at its best can be a time of great advancement at its worst can be a time where one is.. to big for their britches. ORchid or cactus are lucky flowers.The fourth lunar month is the month of the snake. So it is strongest then, any babies born from april 20th to may 21st1 point

Originally it was in the top floor of the Boston Athenæum. The Boston Athenæum is an independent library, meaning it gets private funds, and isn't attached to a school or other institution directly. The Boston Athenæum is also a membership library. So it is for members who pay the yearly fee. What do you think of a private Black Library? Yes, Harlem has the Schomburg from public funds and open to the public. And if you like the idea what kind of books do you think it should have?
