    It definitely would. If you have a chance, check out my latest post about a Haitian immigrant who realized his American Dream. It’s an inspiring story.😊

Absolutely brilliant quote. Thank you for sharing it, Kim. Have you read any of his books before? 😮 I’d really love to have someone recommend one of his books so I can add it on my TBR before ending up adding them all! 😀

  Unequivocally “The Fire Next Time”. It’s a brilliant book, that in my humble opinion, everyone should read.😊

  I’m glad you liked it Didi. James Baldwin has always been a hero to me since I did a report on him in 4th grade.😊
