Black History Month Book Recs | Wk 3 | Children & Young Adult

February 18, 2025

As a child and young adult, I loved reading! I quickly realized that reading was a tool to sharpen my imagination. Not only did reading allow me to escape my reality, it also pushed me to want to write my own short stories which has been stirred back up in me as a full adult. The books I’ve recommended below range from children to young adult ages and also fall into the same categories as my previous recs; fiction, thriller, anti racism, romance, and banned. Fiction: Bros by Carole Boston Weatherford, Reggie BrownThriller: This is My America by Kim JohnsonAnti…

Black Books x Kendrick Lamar

February 13, 2025

The halftime show at Superbowl 59 featuring Kendrick Lamar has sparked a lot of emotions by the masses. Some racist. Well, many racist. Some ignorant. Some just unaware. However, I do love that the show has sparked healthy discourse as great art does. Kendrick Lamar is an artist, a Pulitzer Prize winning artist might I add, and everything he does is intentional and thought provoking. Did you know that in most, if not all, of Kenny’s works he makes reference to great literary works? I’ve picked up on a few references, but not all so I was glad when the…

Black authors write great stories. To be honest, I don’t feel like I’m doing Brack Writers much justice considering the plethora of options that are available for all of us to take in. Hopefully, these weekly lists will spark something in you that will push you to not only read the selections I have provided, but to look for other Black authors in the genre of your preference. I will provide a suggestion each week of Black History Month in the genres of Fiction, Crime, Anti Racism, Romance, and Banned/Challenged. Fiction: Allegedly by Tiffany D.

Black History Month Book Recs | Week 1

February 4, 2025

It’s a new year which means new book goals. January has been a nightmare so I think it’s safe to say that the new year didn’t officially start until February 1st. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to start a new year any other way than the beginning of Black History Month. The best of many things about Black authors is the lived ability to tell Black stories. Stories I can relate to. If you are a book worm or you want to become one, then I have a few book recommendations for you by Black authors. Fiction: Homegoing by…

February 4, 2025

Any item that serves a multifunctional purpose is an item I want in my house. Black? Check. Art? Check. Educatoinal? Check. Decor? Check. Coffee table books, at least the ones I own, fit every one of those categories and I can’t get enough. Coffee table books bring color, art, and depth to any space. When I choose a Black authored coffee table book, I like to make sure that it adds a different element and can spark conversation when I have guests. A few of my favorite are listed below: I’ve linked a few more here. Let me know if…

My Updated Cleaning Routine…Kind of

November 14, 2024

With the shorter days and the colder weather, it’s quickly truning into hibernation season. This season brings more cooking, eating, and lounging around the house. On top of that, the rain picks up more in my part of the country. That means wet puppy paws. I say all of that to say, I’ll be cleaning more frequently and consistently following my cleaning schedule. This cleaning schedule has given be back so much of my time as I’m not spending my entire weekend cleaning and doing laundry and grocery shopping. I recently moved out of The Town Loft into a smaller…

Easy Eats | Caviar Pasta

June 13, 2024

After preparing caviar avocado for the latest episode of Easy Eats, I had a little caviar left over. Naturally I ate a spoonful with a pringle, but used the remainder to make a delicious caviar pasta. My favorite thing about this dish is the simplicity. It is a simple dish to prepare and if you are a pasta and caviar lover, you will be sure to enjoy. INGREDIENTS: INSTRUCTIONS: Will you try this pasta dish? xoxo,Starr

My Easy Eats Cooking Show

June 11, 2024

Let me be honest, I’m not a chef. I don’t even consider myself to be a great cook if we’re being honest. So why would I create a cooking show? It’s simple. I love bringing people together and nothing brings people together better than food, great drinks, and stimulating conversation. I started Easy Eats during the pandemic. We were all at home looking for things to keep us entertained. One thing I know for sure, is that the longer you sit around at home with nothing to do, the hungrier you are. I don’t understand the math, but that’s just…
