I’m a retired preschool teacher, and can’t afford paid subscriptions or book purchases. However, I will encourage my library to purchase the book. It’s not much but hopefully it’s a small recognition of your labor.

I’m sorry the preorder numbers aren’t better. I’ve already preordered but I’ll continue to share your SubStack and book links bc more people need to read your beautiful words.

Thanks for all you do through your nonprofit. 🙏

I made an early preorder to send to the Lisa Libraries, and am so happy that you shared their address again so that others might do the same!

Ill be able to buy it on the first of May. I did do a paid subscription I truly enjoy your writing and appreciate your storytelling of your experiences. I truly hope more than anything that white people do better.

Thank you for the reminder to preorder your book and the pointing out the disparity between what white people and Black people are getting from Substack. It's a little hard for me to spend the money right now, but I want to support you, so I ordered it. Here's a plug for Bookshop.org, so people can support your local BIPOC-owned bookstore as well.

Pre-ordered from Amazon and it will ship directly to me here in France. Keep doing what you are doing and like the Sequoia seed that starts out so small, one day you will have a tree that covers the whole world.
