Perhaps I’m just curious about quite a number of things, and can’t seem to stop writing about them. At any rate, you’re welcome to tag along for the ride.

I'd Rather Be Writing

By Walter Rhein

My perspective is never given equal representation in the mainstream media. I believe character matters. I believe the experts. I believe in education. I believe women. Let me know if you have a story to tell. There's no AI content in my newsletter.

I’ve been reading Walter’s work for the past 4 years. It is thought provoking and it reminds us of the double standards we may have when it comes to minorities. I really enjoy reading his work and I’m sure you will too - especially if you are on the path to deeper learning on antiracism and all race-related issues.

William F. Spivey's History Channel

By William Spivey

Most of my stories invariably return to history, a different perspective, and always in context. A recent story about the Red Summer of 1919 also described 1918-1923. You'll get some politics, education, and race, but history is what I always return to.

Ray’s BoomBoom Room Kingdom

By KingRayVet

Things I tend to think about as life goes on for this older, cantankerous Black man.

Brilliant thought provoking analysis on white supremacy, racial dynamics and a host of other topics.

Dragged N Divine

By Empress Theadora

Coming Soon

This publication is what I have looked for all of my life. It’s a place to come to read stories that make me feel that I can just be. I don’t need to be strong, perfect, all those things society thinks we, Black women, should be. This is a powerful writer, reading her work is like self-care for me.
