Description
Coco June and Melanin: Poems from a Black Woman's Diaspora is a compilation of social justice poetry and short stories that give life to Black women's narrative. You will find yourself lifting your fist in solidarity when you explore the experiences of Black women who are living in marginalized communities, but not living marginalized lives. They are powerful, they have a voice, they are political, and move like no others do. These are the stories from and about Black women.
Endorsements:
Roe Braddy writes with power, beauty and perspective, all of which are displayed in her book Coco June and Melanin: Poems from a Black Woman's Diaspora. She is a storyteller, gifted with mother wit, Black woman magic, and old soul experience. Roe Braddy's poetry is the voice of Black women, in celebration of Black women, who have struggled, fought, endured, survived, and thrived through all manner of life challenges, trials and storms. The poetry explodes often, and at times is quiet and poignant, but always expressing the inner strength of the Black Woman. It takes time, talent and tactful craftsmanship to write like this. Thank you, Roe Braddy.
