Still Got That On The Shelf: Books Every Black Girl Read Back In The Day
Anything by Eric Jerome Dickey…
This one was hard to narrow down, but I’m pretty sure we’ve all either read Milk in My Coffee, Sister, Sister, Liar’s Game, Cheaters or Lovers and Friends…am I right? As a teenager, at the time, nobody wrote about love, volatile relationships and “contemporary African-American life” like Eric Jerome Dickey, and his books stay on the bookshelves of your sisters, aunties, cousins and friends to this day.
