Oh, mine arrived two days ago, go pre-orders!

I would like to purchase some books for you, Ijeoma, to be able to give to people who think they deserve a freebie when they are the VERY people who should be supporting you with a purchase.

I know that if I order more than four copies at once they won't count toward your best-seller status - unless someone knows different info? Tell me where to send those books. r@thehf.org

I'm getting wonderful email notifications that your book is on the way!

I pre-ordered it a bit ago.

But thank you for the reminder to talk with my libraries about getting it!

Happy, happy, safebook tour!

You and Gabriel are such the power couple, spreading knowledge and love!

Happy February first.

Thank you for speaking today at the Detroit Public Library. I'm ordering your book online and look forward to reading it. I think I was your only virtual guest today. Will you come back to speak at BGSU again or the University of Toledo? I met you at the BGSU Black Issues Conference in September 2022. I'm disabled, a single mom and the only black graduate student in my cohort. As I become more disabled, the more hurdles I get from the Art School technicians, older faculty and the accessibility office.

Iโ€™m now listening to โ€œSo You Want to Talk about Raceโ€ and finding it enlightening and very important. Theyโ€™ve let me know that โ€œBe a Revolutionโ€ is ready for download. Really looking forward to reading it. Good luck with the book!

My pre-order just arrived this week! I had to work late Tuesday and was super bummed to miss the launch here in Brooklyn. I know it was brilliant! So much gratitude to you for writing this book. Wishing you joy, safety, and rest (somehow?!) on tour. Youโ€™re a gosh darn gift to this world.

I pre-ordered your book the first day I was able to from Third Place Books - it's been shipped so I should receive it soon. I'm excited to read it and can't wait to attend your Town Hall event in Seattle later this month.
