As you know, I’ve stopped writing on Medium to focus on making sure that the content I do provide is controlled by me. But also because I am tired of paying into a system that returns pennies on the dollar for a ton of free content, which I provide to them. Nah, I’m good. I’ll take my pennies elsewhere.
Like Kofi. I recently learned that Stripe is supporting Israel, so I needed to find a place I could put my books that doesn’t contribute to organizations or companies I don’t believe in. Kofi is the next best solution.
To that end, let’s make this short and sweet. I have officially dropped my book Uncomfortable on Kofi, so you no longer need to buy it on Amazon unless you want the physical copy.
I wrote this book when I was at my most delapitated, when I was feeling lower than a dying slug.
When I was just beginning to discover my voice, when I was just starting to realize just how much truly unfair shit I as a human had to go through, to that point.
No one talks about the transition from youth adult, that’s what I’ve tried to do with this book, to describe the difficulty with which so many Black, Brown, and Indigenous people have it growing up.
It’s been compared and called many things, but my favourite comparison is the one that Kim Rhodes made when she said this book is like the “Body Moves” exhibit. Of the exhibit experience, she wrote, “There is no way to partake of the experience without being uncomfortable.”
Over the next several weeks, I will be remaking the digital covers of my books and adding them to my Kofi shop so you’ll be able to access all but one on my page.
I hope you’ll join me in this new endeavour, as I release the old and begin preparing to write the new.
Sending all my love,
