“Make a difference about something other than yourselves.” #ToniMorrison Her words. Her presence. Her genius. Her brilliance. She made a difference to me and to so many who have beautiful words, phrases and prose lighting up our minds and imaginations inside our Black bodies. She gave us hope and a vehicle through her words that encouraged us and affirmed us to know, to be and to create. We thank you beloved Toni Morrison for your Black genius and for igniting our own. #RIP #ToniMorrison #Beloved #Words #BlackGenius #Feminist #Power #Creativity #LiveLoveServe #NativeSon #WorldOfWilbekin #WOW

Recitatif, the only short story Toni Morrison ever wrote, is about race and the relationships that shape our lives, with a new substantial introduction from Zadie Smith
This powerful story about race and friendship, tells the story of girls Twyla and Roberta who meet at the age of eight in a children’s home. Inseparable as children, they lose touch as they grow older, only later to find each other again at various junctures in their lives. A beautiful abstract painting by Liverpool based artist Millie Toyin Olateju graces the cover. The layers and overlapping of colours in Millie’s piece reminded the designer of the meetings between Twyla and Roberta in the story and serves as an abstract representation of their story building and their relationship.
