Are You A Radical Dreamer, or Nah?


All The Black Girls Are Activists

Through the All The Black Girls Are Bestsellers Campaign, 50,000 books written by 10 Black Femme authors have been provided to over 175 nonprofit organizations, 5,900 avid readers, 20 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), educational organizations, and individual households across the United States.

Despite all five titles reporting enough sales to make The New York Times Bestsellers List and proving that, truly, All The Black Girls Are Bestsellers, we learned that The New York Times is censoring the voices and buying power of book readers and Black Femme authors and in doing so, the list does not accurately report books with the highest and best sales.

Knowing this, can The New York Times call itself a true reflection of best-selling books?

Help us make this campaign a movement with your continued support by purchasing the All The Black Girls Are Bestsellers Reading List. Share with your friends, book clubs and visit the website for the next phase of this campaign.


In Pursuit of Dreaming

I pursue my dreams. All The Black Girls Are Bestsellers came from my dream to see Black Femme literature on the New York Times Bestseller list...

In my book All The Black Girls Are Activists, I write:

From devising ways to manage co-workers' microaggressions to creating full programs to address structural and institutionalized racism within their industry, Black Women have been constrained to combat white supremacy in the workplace while simultaneously maintaining a highly productive performance level. So basically, come to work, do the work that you were paid to do, and perform the unpaid labor of addressing workplace disparities and white supremacy for free.” (Further proof of “De nigger woman is de mule uh de world...”)

The Case for Dreaming

  1. Dreaming Resists the extraction of labor
  2. Dreaming is a tool for liberation through ancestral technology and knowledge. There are no time constraints with the tool of dreaming, therefore one can go forward or backward in space or time.
  3. Dreaming allows us to shed the constraints of white supremacy and imagine our highest selves.
  4. Dreaming allows us to create an action plan based on our highest selves.
  5. Dreaming allows Black women to create spaces where chilling, dreaming, playing, and centering our wellness is important

Dream Radically!

March's newsletter is a little reminder to the Black girls that - especially in this political climate - dreaming and softness are valid tools for resisting the white supremacist status quo.

Hi Reader! Reaching toward our dreams offers a beautiful sense of liberation and freedom—a reminder that life is so much more than the work we do. While work is a necessary part of life, it’s worth considering how often we work so hard for others and neglect our own need for dreaming, rest, and joy. Dreaming, resting, and embracing joy are not indulgences. They’re powerful acts of resistance against white supremacy and patriarchal oppression. They remind us of our humanity and our right to...

Hello Reader, I must share with you a quote from a recent lecture I did last week: "She told them that the only grace they could have was the grace they could imagine. That if they could not see it, they would not have it." - From Beloved by Toni Morrison In this lecture on Dreaming as Radical Resistance, I spoke about Beloved by Toni Morrison and the visuals from Lemonade as sacred text because of how they tell us where we are going, how we are headed there, ways to deepen our dreaming, how...
