#RedRoseSeptember
I‘m so behind (work is insane) so I‘m doing a #quadrupledip to get mostly caught up from the week.
In this Pride and Prejudice retelling, Zuri has a #KinkyAfro & her Bushwick, Brooklyn neighborhood is her #MerseyParadise a place she loves. She & her sister Janae #SitDown on the roof of their building & watch what‘s going on. Zuri has an immediate dislike of Darius Darcy, living #TheLifeOfRiley in his family‘s mini-mansion.🎤😉

arlenefinnigan Wow. A quadruple link is some going! Excellent work. 5y
Cinfhen Well played 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼and I‘m kind of keen to read this particular retelling 5y
Cinfhen Hope you have a quieter week 💜 5y

#RedRoseSeptember

(Day 17 - #KinkyAfro)

*Angela Davis sports a “Kinky Afro” for real to this very day. My earliest memories of big Afros are of her in her youth: when she was involved with the Black Panthers; when she was jailed for her part in the Soledad Brothers hostage situation; and when she was fired from her position at UCLA (twice), and subsequently rehired after intervention from the Board of Regents. Davis was born in Birmingham, ⬇️

gradcat ⬆️ (Cont.) which was a region that experienced extreme violence, particularly where she lived, which was dubbed “Dynamite Hill.” The name came about because of the frequent bombing of middle-class black family homes in the 1950s. 5y
arlenefinnigan YES! Excellent choice ✊ 5y

gradcat @arlenefinnigan & @Cinfhen Thank you for your nice comments! ♥️ 5y
gradcat @Joyfulmimi I LOVE that hairstyle—I wish my flat, straight, thin hair would do that! 😅 5y
DrSabrinaMoldenReads Actually my hair is naturally curly and thin so it took some work (long story) for the Angela Davis look but I loved it @gradcat 5y
gradcat @Joyfulmimi I bet it was beautiful! I want a new hairstyle now...or just new hair! 😂 5y

Remember how popular these books were years ago? I think I have a copy of her other popular one somewhere. In this one, Guiliano discusses beauty in terms of makeup, grooming habits, and just general style. Whether your prefer a #KinkyAfro or a sans makeup look, you can pick up tips in this book. Alas, another one I‘ve yet to read, but I had to pick it up because of the hype. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #RedRoseSeptember

arlenefinnigan Interesting! 5y
Cinfhen I recall one about what French Women eat and drink 🍷 5y

Pickpick

This book was a lot of fun but also pretty crazy. It is based on the myth of Theseus which I actually got it because I had previously read The King Must Die by Mary Renault. I don‘t remember If Oreo actually has a #kinkyafro or not but she might have given the book was first published in 1974 and is contemporary. ☮️
