James Baldwin changed my life. He made me fall in love with books. Every time I pick up one of his books I'm reminded that life is worthwhile. He manages to capture so much humanity in his characters, and they're so different from me, but I feel very connected to them. Go Tell it On the Mountain resonated for me for my youth; depressed and suicidal, a fat queer girl who went to the only Southern Baptist church in the county. John felt like a friend to me and I thought I understood his pain. What I never fully felt was the pain he endured living in a racist society. As an adult I reread this book only to discover that everyone in John's family meant something to me. I first read his essays in college when a friend recommended Notes of a Native Son. This is where I started to learn about the power of nationalist and imperialist teleology of race. "I am what time, circumstance, history have made of me, certainly, but I am, also, much more than that. So are we all." . . . #mentalhealth #selfcare #selflove #read #jamesbaldwin #gotellitonthemountain #iamnotyournegro #notesofanativeson #queer #lgbtq #blackart #blackbooks #blackcreators #blackwriters #blackpoets #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #blackhistory #blacknow #blackfutures #blackfuturesmatter #southernbaptist https://www.instagram.com/p/CLLeA9EjzB_/?igshid=12jtxxs7h7y3i

"It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive." - James Baldwin. 📚 Happy birthday to this brilliant man. •• #bookstagram #readstagram #book #jamesbaldwin #giovannisroom #thefirenexttime #gotellitonthemountain #anothercountry #notesofanativeson #author (at Strand Book Store)
