The morning light is just starting to hit the desk and I am sitting here with a cup of cold coffee. It feels like a long road has finally reached the end. After months of digging through the files and finding the names the Secret Nine tried to bury, the book is live. Black History They Didn’t Teach You is officially available as an ebook today. It feels strange to finally let these stories out into the world. It is a quiet, heavy relief that sits in my chest.
I spent a lot of time looking at the maps that were used to build walls between neighborhoods. I looked at the laws that were written to keep people in the dark and the stories of those who refused to stay silent. I found the teachers who used the dirt as a blackboard and the families who kept their love alive even when they were a thousand miles apart. To celebrate the launch, I am offering the ebook for 30% off. I want these facts to be in your hands because they belong to all of us.
The air in the room is still and I can hear the clock ticking. I actually have a small knot in my stomach thinking about you finally reading these chapters. It is an intimate thing to share a story about so much struggle and survival. If you are waiting for the physical copy, keep an eye out because the paperback is coming soon. I am making sure the print version is as solid as the history inside. For now, go grab the ebook while the sale is on. The silence is finally over and the truth is right there on the page. I am going to go take a walk and try to remember how to breathe without a deadline hanging over my head. It is a good day to tell the truth.
