Full moon in Aquarius while five planets are in retrograde…

As an Aquarius sun, just don’t talk to me for the next few days. Lol 😬🙃

To the left, on a pale rose colored background, in white text reads: MacKids School & Library. Onyx & Beyond Teacher's Guide To the right is the cover of Onyx & Beyond by Amber McBride. The cover depicts a young black boy, arms crossed and wearing a white t-shirt, looking up at the sky. Behind two multicolored wings stretch out as if from his back with layers of blue, pink, and yellow feathers. Each feather has a word written on it, for example: Stars, Mama, Freedom

Did you know we've created a teacher's guide for ONYX & BEYOND by @ambsmcbride.bsky.social?

THE LEAVING ROOM (Out Oct. 7th) 🖤🏳️‍🌈🫙

Gospel is the Keeper of the Leaving Room--a place all young people must phase through when they die. The young are never ready to leave; they need a moment to remember and a Keeper to help their wispy souls along.

Hear me out…

Maybe I should just announce an ENTIRELY NEW BOOK that comes out in 2025 with A NEW BOOK COVER crafted by the brilliant Rich Deas on Monday to celebrate MLK Day, diversity & books about the Black experience bc like nothing else important is happening that day. Yay MLK! 🖤

MOTH & GONE WOLF are making moves! 🦋🖤🐺

over a decade ago, 23 year old me would have given up writing after i got my MFA if not for Nikki Giovanni & Dr. Gabbin. yall would have had no books from me.

grateful for Nikki Giovanni’s life & legacy.

my grandma passed yesterday morning from complications associated with dementia.

ONYX & BEYOND was inspired by my dad & his mom. we wrote it as a gift to her, to show what dementia can be like but also to highlight how Black families take care of & love each other.

all the moonstones 🖤

Congrats!!!!!!

my middle grade & young adult book covers are (chefs kiss)…the best cover artists. 🖤🙏🏾

I almost reactivated my Twitter account before the 30 days to talk to Black Twitter about Kendrick bc yall are NOT hype enough here.

Kendrick taught me the true definition of they go low I GO TO THE CORE OF THE EARTH.

& I respect him for that.

Hi. I made an account.
