@mattmcgorry : "No Ashes In The Fire: Coming of Age Black & Free in America" by Darnell L. Moore ( @mooredarnell ) # Darnell is a tremendous writer.  His words are beautifully pieced together into a truly stirring portrait of life in all of its complications and humanity.  He so deftly paints his story, one in which the United States of America is built to trample, and anchors it in a love for Black folx, LGBTQ people, and ultimately himself. # I’m so appreciative of all of the work that Darnell does, and feel so incredibly fortunate that he is an advisor at @WeInspireJustice as well! @jlovecalderon and I just feel so lucky and grateful! ❤️ # AND if you're in NYC come out to the panel I am producing with Playboy on The Future of Masculinity ‪this Friday June 21st 5-6pm‬ featuring the brilliant minds of @mooredarnell, @freckledwhileblack @carlosaglive @conradricamora with a mindfulness collab with my partner @jlovecalderon and beatboxer @airloombeats -- you don't want to miss it! http://playboyevents.com/playhousenyc/futureofmasculinity 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 # "Loving oneself and being loved while navigating the violence that harms black people's psyches and well-being is a survival tactic that requires work.  Staying alive when you've been counted dead is love." # "The negative portrayals of Camden and the black people who lived there, which pointed to the problems that seemed to undermine any potential for good in Camden, always upheld the black and Latino inhabitants as the sources of the violence and poverty plaguing the city.  But that is a misguided and ahistorical idea.  We were never the problem.  The entrenched, interlocking systems of antiblack racism, economic disinvestment, and political exploitation ravaging Camden and its black and Latino residents were the sparks always smoking, and they preempted the eventual flames that would drastically shift the sate of our city." # My Booklist: bit.ly/mcgreads (link in bio) #McGReads
