#Scarathon - Photo Challenge - Autumn 🍂

This duology will be forever linked with Election Season for me, because it actually gave me a lot of shaky solace during an anxious time. A strong reminder that you can do hard things, even if you‘re scared. I so wish Butler has been able to write more in this series. #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall

There is a such a clarity in the worlds Butler builds. Her work with these books is so sharp and precise. The kind of deconstruction and reconstruction of God and religion in ways that make so much sense to me in this time. Like 1984 these books scare me in how prophetic they are, but then they draw us a beautiful blueprint of revolution entrenched in community…teach us what leadership in service truly looks like in a way only a Black woman can.

I can‘t believe I have only just learned of these books. If you are looking for a heart wrenching dystopian these are for you. Octavia Butler was a phenomenal author and these books were captivating. These books also discuss important topics such as racism, sexism, and social class

1. Unity By Any Means Necessary unitybamn.com
2. I don‘t really collect anything but I like t-shirts and fridge magnets.
3. Tea - my favorite is Mint Tea but I also enjoy other fruity or herbal teas
4. Janet Jackson, Lizzo
5. Coretta Scott-King, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton - I would just like to talk to powerful women and learn from them about love and life. #BHMS #BlitsySwap @GreenGrl87

GreenGrl87 Oooh mint tea is so good! Also, your tagged book just made me realize I was tripping when I answered mine because I would definitely choose lunch or just a chat with Octavia Butler! 3y
