    I just wanted to introduce all of my shelfari friends to my new character, Olena Day. So if you see a friend (In Love With A Younger Man) that you don't recognize I updated my shelfari profile and Sweet Georgia Brown is gone, but hopefully not forgotten. Thanks for staying supportive.

    Hey Mary. Haven't forgotten about the project we were working on your poetry. I just bought a radio station in the Mississippi Delta and have been absolutely saturated! Selfinduced, but just almost unable to eat. Check this out. http://www.mainstreamnetwork.com/listen/dynamicasx.asp?station=wabg-am

    Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!

    We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc.

    I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same.

    And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!

    Love, Jaya
