See Through You

Lula was born and raised in a small community that's sandwiched between Sweet Home, Arkansas, and Granite Mountain. She was a grandma's girl. Instead of yachts and limousines she writes about in her books, she watched her grandpa fend off snakes on fishing trips, shelled peas during soap operas, ate popsicles at Vacation Bible School, went on barefoot bike rides, and snuck into the illicit world of Danielle Steele books she had no business reading. Hers and her grandmother's shared passion for books, magazines and movies opened up worlds beyond her front yard. And what a journey it's been. Both coasts have been her home. She's traveled, hobnobbed, crisscrossed careers, and advocated for the indigent parents of Los Angeles as a former public interest lawyer in Southern California. With her pen and imagination, she celebrates Black accomplishment from every angle, and the brilliance of all blackness, in every space. We are never too old, too young, or too tired to dream.
