This personal letter from a reader of @ineverymirr This personal letter from a reader of @ineverymirror is exactly why I needed to write this book. 

My heart 🙏🏾🖤

She felt fully seen and not alone.

There are support resources at the back of the book too 🙏🏾
==============================

Just now finished "In Every Mirror She's Black". I found it randomly at the library. Boy was it an extremely triggering read. In the midst of reading as an escape from reality, I found myself in all three of your main female characters. 

As a refugee who escaped unspeakable horrors; as a  young, impressionable, black woman who felt marrying outside of my race and culture would offer me protection from my past; as a black woman navigating professional spaces where I'm always being forced to prove my worth no matter my expertise and experience. 

I left this read exhausted by my mere  existence. 

I write this in bed, pinned under the possessive arm of my very own version of Jonny, envying Muna's ultimate escape and kind of hoping Kemi doesn't give Sweden the satisfaction of having iced her back to America. 

A beautiful read,  thank you ❤

I was inspired by incredible artist, nature and la I was inspired by incredible artist, nature and landscape photographer @wildgina to create this reel and I urge fellow Black creatives to do the same in honor of Black History Month.
=================================
I am a professional travel photographer who focuses on environmental portraits of people, culture, and traditional lifestyles across the globe including the Arctic.

And I am Black History. 
=================================

Reposting @wildgina’s words verbatim below:

So, if you’re Black and doing anything at all - celebrate yourself this Black History Month. Because trust me, no one will do it the way you will ✊🏾

P.S. Black Creatives! If you see a brand, company posting about you this Black History Month - you have every right to ask for compensation. Exposure 👏🏾 will 👏🏾 not 👏🏾 pay 👏🏾 your 👏🏾 bills + your story, your legacy is not free. And, they are just using you as a checkbox ✅ - get your coins because you are not a checkbox. You are legendary.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS OF @notenough.book coming Octobe OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS OF @notenough.book coming October 2023
============================

From international bestselling author Lola Akinmade Åkerström, the highly anticipated follow-up to her debut novel @ineverymirror focusing on the lives of three Black women as they fight their own personal struggles in one of the most egalitarian societies, Sweden.

Can a career woman truly have it all?

Powerful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi has finally found the man she needs, but Tobias Wikström thinks she's the most selfish woman he has ever met for asking him to give up his life in Sweden and move to the US for her own comfort. Will Kemi be forced to stay if she wants to keep him while chipping away at her hard-earned career? As things begin to sour and challenge her relationship with Tobias, someone else moves back into the picture.

Can having it all be a gilded cage?

Looking into divorce in Sweden isn't what former model-turned-flight attendant Brittany-Rae von Lundin anticipated. Only jointly owned assets are split evenly between couples. Brittany gave up her career and came with nothing into Jonny's kingdom. Having had a child with him, her greatest fear for Maya includes being cut off from the resources she's become accustomed to. With a man obsessed with a ghost, trying to get away isn't going to be easy. And the deeper she digs into his past, the darker the secrets she unravels.

Can you run from your past to have it all?

After fleeing her home through a client to seek a new life in Sweden, Yasmiin finds love in the arms of Yagiz Çelik while carving out her own small corner. But as someone from her past forces Yasmiin to become a caretaker before she's ready, she now must confront and move beyond her teenage history, while following her dreams of becoming a makeup artist.

Everything Is Not Enough follows the loosely intertwined and messy lives of Kemi, Brittany, and Yasmiin as they interrogate themes of place, prejudice, and patriarchy in Europe, proving--yet again--that Lola Akinmade Åkerström is the next great voice of nuanced contemporary women's fiction.
