Thank you for the acknowledgement @Troy ! Seriously, how many hours in Stacey Abrams’ day?

My pleasure @Mel Hopkins I can't up on the entire Black book world single handedly -- thought I do as good a job as anyone out there  

 

This is even more interesting than N.K. Jemison Hugo wins.  BTW you know that Jemisin's cousin is W. Kamau Bell?  Someone shared that with me when I posted the info on N.K. on Lipstick Alley's book forum.  I have not taken time to confirm this but it is an interesting factoid.

Oh snap! This is like Marley Dias, her mom and their close relationship with Black Thought and The Roots!  - I love it!  Black folks are forming powerful coalitions!
