Thursdays and Every Other Sunday Off: A Domestic Rap by Verta Mae, by Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor.
Verta Mae, Verta Mae, Verta Mae.
I could not get enough of this book. There are a lot of things swimming in my head that I know I should type out about this book, but the action seems futile and almost disrespectful to what Verta Mae has written. She feels like my grandmother if my grandmother hadn’t been wrapped up in grace for her entire lifetime. She feels like what whiteness never wanted written. And I think that’s why this book is one of my favorites I’ve ever read. It was initially a second choice (I was searching for her book Vibration Cooking and found Thursdays, too), but man, ancestors move through book decisions too, I suppose.
Overnight, I finished Home Body. I’ll be donating it to my local library this week.
