Storytime: In 2023, Koritha Mitchell generously shared an article that reminded her of my work: Michelle Lanier’s gorgeous “Rooted.“ My breath was immediately swept away by an image that seemed to express all that I was trying to make clear in words. Thank you Allison Janae Hamilton! #TSIH

I have long admired the field-shaping work of Soyica Diggs Colbert, Thadious Davis, and Riche Richardson, so I was ecstatic when I read their reviews of my first book The Souths in Her! I’m beyond grateful that they took the time to read and engage my work. #tsih #thesouthsinher
