I hit refresh and the “Add to Cart” button finally turned yellow. It is official. The paperback for Black History They Didn’t Teach You is live and ready to ship. I did a messy little victory lap around the kitchen and almost knocked over my favorite mug. Seeing that physical book listed next to the digital one makes all the late nights feel real. The ebook is great, but there is a weight to paper that changes the whole experience.
I can almost smell the fresh ink through the screen. I want you to feel the smooth cover under your thumbs when your copy arrives. I want you to hear the pages turn while you read about the secret cities in the Great Dismal Swamp. These stories are no longer hidden. They are bound and ready to sit on your shelf. It’s a physical record of the names and lives the world tried to erase. I cannot wait for you to see it in person.
I sent a very caps-lock heavy text to my son the second the page updated. It’s a strange, beautiful thing to put your heart into a project and watch it turn into something people can actually hold. You can grab your copy on Amazon right now. Thank you for sticking with me through the edits and the wait. It means everything.
I once spent an entire afternoon organizing my bookshelf by color just to avoid writing a difficult chapter, so I know the thrill of a physical win. Seeing your work in a form you can actually touch is a massive milestone. Do you have a specific spot on your shelf already picked out for it? Click below to get your copy!!
