Will definitely out her other worlds; she presents race issues in a way every author should- as part of a larger world.
Love it all.

She said that her motivation for writing was that she didn't want a piece of reality to be forgotten. Black isn't always beautiful. It can be ugly. It can hurt. That's was her motivation.
