Welcome back to The Lit Library! May the spirit of literacy bloom in your life!

This week, we're stepping into beautiful chaos with author Vanessa Riley. From Black women pirates and Haitian queens to dukes, detectives, and sweeping love stories, Vanessa reminds us that history is far more expansive than many of us were taught.

Welcome to The Lit Library, where the books are Black, the discussions are bold, and this week's lesson proves that sometimes the best stories are the ones history forgot to tell.Vanessa Riley: @vanessarileyauthor (IG)
