We Are Not Like Them is one of the most thought-provoking books I’ve read in a long time, it’s also a very real account of the world we’re living in and a book that should be on everyone’s radar…I know it’s a book that I’ll remember for years to come….. Not every story is black and white. Riley and Jen have been best friends since they were children, and they thought their bond was unbreakable. It never mattered to them that Riley is black and Jen is white.

It’s Black History Month, and Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, so I’ve been thinking about Black love. Essay series, TV shows, and books have all tackled the subject, but what exactly is Black love? Of course, the color of our skin has no bearing on the heart-pounding adoration we feel for our beloveds, but our identities do often influence who or how we love.
