NOMINATED FOR AN NAACP IMAGE AWARD - An inspiring collection of essays by black women writers, curated by the founder of the popular book club Well-Read Black Girl, on the importance of recognizing ourselves in literature."Yes, Well-Read Black Girl is as good as it sounds. . . . Glory Edim] gathers an all-star cast of contributors--among them Lynn Nottage, Jesmyn Ward, and Gabourey Sidibe."--O: The Oprah Magazine
Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you? That feeling of belonging remains with readers the rest of their lives--but not everyone regularly sees themselves in the pages of a book. In this timely anthology, Glory Edim brings together original essays by some of our best black women writers to shine a light on how important it is that we all--regardless of gender, race, religion, or ability--have the opportunity to find ourselves in literature. Contributors include Jesmyn Ward (Sing, Unburied, Sing), Lynn Nottage (Sweat), Jacqueline Woodson (Another Brooklyn), Gabourey Sidibe (This Is Just My Face), Morgan Jerkins (This Will Be My Undoing), Tayari Jones (An American Marriage), Rebecca Walker (Black, White and Jewish), and Barbara Smith (Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology) Whether it's learning about the complexities of femalehood from Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison, finding a new type of love in The Color Purple, or using mythology to craft an alternative black future, the subjects of each essay remind us why we turn to books in times of both struggle and relaxation. As she has done with her book club-turned-online community Well-Read Black Girl, in this anthology Glory Edim has created a space in which black women's writing and knowledge and life experiences are lifted up, to be shared with all readers who value the power of a story to help us understand the world and ourselves.
Praise for Well-Read Black Girl "Each essay can be read as a dispatch from the vast and wonderfully complex location that is black girlhood and womanhood. . . . They present literary encounters that may at times seem private and ordinary--hours spent in the children's section of a public library or in a college classroom--but are no less monumental in their impact."--The Washington Post "A wonderful collection of essays."--Essence

Fabulous and Fluffy
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Fabulous and fluffy pillows.... they feel like clouds, clouds snatched right out of heaven. Just the right amount of fluff and just the right amount of firmness! they are good weight , they weigh what you would expect a biggo pillow to weigh. The vacuumed seal does not diminish the quality of these pillows. Very easy to use. They're white and they'll fit your bed perfect (no im not sponsored LOL) I'm just saying that these pillows are wonderful, I highly recommend. The art water resistant but I wouldn't expect pillows of comfort to be water resistant anyway cuz why would your bed be wet enough for that. A very fancy private institution where doctors would study him yeah

Utopia bedding is GREAT
Color: White, Size: Full
I had never heard of Utopia before I suddenly needed to buy bedding for my adult autistic son. He has sensory issues so shopping for anything that touches his body is a bit of a nightmare. I took a gamble on these sheets but it paid off big time! He says they are the most comfortable sheets he has ever slept on and that he doesn't overheat sleeping in them. What I liked about them is that the pockets were deep enough that it fit on his oversized plush mattress easily. I love the color and the ones I bought were very true to the picture. These are soft, comfy, they look nice and they are affordable. I liked this brand so much that I went ahead and got pillows and a comforter from them as well. Its is great for my son and I am very pleased to have found a fabric he tolerates.

Perfect Fit and Great Quality Sheet Set (10/10)
Color: Grey, Size: King, Color: Grey, Size: King
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10)
This bedsheet has been working flawlessly and honestly exceeded my expectations.
The fit is perfect on the mattress—it wraps securely without slipping or coming loose during the night. It stays in place even after movement, which makes a big difference in comfort and convenience.
The fabric feels soft, comfortable, and well-made, giving a clean and fresh look to the bed. It’s also very easy to put on and remove, which makes washing and changing sheets much simpler.
So far, there are absolutely no issues at all. Everything works exactly as it should, and it holds up really well with daily use.
Overall, it’s a simple but high-quality product that does its job perfectly. I would definitely recommend it—10/10.

super comfortable, not waking up as often as before
Color: Grey, Size: Queen
decided to try these after seeing the tons of good reviews and since they were on sale. also one of my favorite colors in general which is a great neutral shade for bedding, not too bright and not too dull. I ordered a queen thinking my mattress might have been a queen as I previously bought some mainstays walmart sheets. with that brand the fitted sheet in full was way too small. turns out my mattress is in fact a full it is just that mainstays is not good quality or sized right, so this brand the queen is a bit big for my mattress but not too big of a deal. i am not looking for a perfect look, just covering the mattress is the most important.
anyway since getting these sheets in the mail and giving them a run through the wash and dry before putting them on my bed my sleep quality has improved. the sheets are not too hot, are soft and I actually do not wake up as often as before. the sheets are not too thin like other brands and are not thick like flannel either. they are a nice in between. I wonder if they will help keep me cool in the summer, probably since they are actually breathable. I would definitely reccommend giving these sheets a try, worth the money and a good deal on sale. better quality that other store bought sheets.
