Happy Black Indie Author Day, Rainbow Peeps & Friends! Promise Keeper is 1 year old now and last year from its release onward I said yes to EVERY opportunity presented to me to promote it. Because I am an author and a publisher! ✊🏾

Rainbow Peeps & Friends, @target is doing everything it can to win back Black love EXCEPT wtf they said they was gonna do! That’s anti-Blackness in its purest form.

What’s up, Rainbow Peeps & Friends? 😎✊🏾 Of course, my wife made sure we kicked off our Juneteenth celebrations by hanging out at @h.e.r.e.sac’s silent disco. 🥰 It was so chill. The vibes were immaculate, and honestly, it’s such a genius idea!

Rainbow Peeps & Friends, y’all, I hopped on the scene in December 2019 with Rainbow, a Black queer novella. With BIG dreams and very little money or know-how, but I did have a vision and a dream in my spirit and soul that I’ve been dreaming from the beginning because I was born with it.

🌈 Happy Pride Weekend, Rainbow Peeps & Friends! ✊🏾 The clip you’re hearing from the Promise Keeper audiobook is a flashback. A conversation about a young Black man killed after being accused of stealing from a convenience store. Sound familiar? Not because of one story. Because of many.

The Writer Verde Arzu @verdearzu.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
