In the first section of "Soul Survivors," LaChelle takes readers on a journey through East Oakland...and some of the histories, politics, geographies, relationships, narratives and counter-narratives there.

Immense thanks to @sketch_marq for creating the visuals and sounds for what I offered on the page! 🎥🎨🔥

Shout-out to @eoydc for being an early "homeplace" for me to listen, learn, ask, build, offer, give, pause, reconsider, teach, write, play, and imagine.

Sound 🆙 🔊 (We Do Not Own The Rights To This Music 🎶)

Back in LA this past Thursday to promote her book (Soul Survivors) of poems, Michigan State University Associate Professor LeConte’ Dill-NCS ❤️🤍 ‘90 was on site at the same library that her mother had taken her to as a child to read, study, print copies and learn. A full circle moment ⭕️ for her…….

She also hosted a Q & A session during her event and also signed copies of her book 📖 and read excerpts from her book to her gathered family & friends and sorors & sands and Spelmanites and other people and students from her other walks in life from the Bay Area (Oakland) UCLA and Atlanta & NYC 🍎 who were on hand to support her.

In tow with her was her daughter (pictured left in photo # 6) who made the journey back to LA to see her grandmother (NCS ❤️🤍Mom—Debra Sterling) who was also on hand to support her daughter and her granddaughter.

QR code for the book purchase is attached to support her poetic body of work. Congratulations Dr. Dill and your NCS ❤️🤍 Alumni family supports you !

This week on @blkandpublished #podcast @docdilltaughtem comes through to discuss her poetry collection SOUL SURVIVORS.

The collection comes from 15 years of research, data, and analysis, from working with young Black girls across the country and how they navigate violence while still proudly repping their hood.

In our conversation she explains how external validation gave her permission to be more of herself. 🎧 now wherever you get your #podcasts by @docdilltaughtem

"Soul Survivors" has been earthside for 6 months! 🥳 📚
Just getting around to sharing my #unboxing video from its arrival earlier this year...with all of the post-work event/pre-bedtime realness. Lol!
📽: @discdolo

Thanks to everyone who has supported its becoming and being in the world. Stay tuned for much more "Soul Survivors" goodness as I take it on the road to L.A., Chi, ATL, and these podcast streets this Fall ✈️

Keep sharing how "Soul Survivors" is landing on your hearts, hands, and ears...your beach reads, cookouts, and bookshelves. Are you reading it as part of the #SealeyChallenge? Are you adding it to your Fall syllabi? Need an extra copy or 2 or more? Check the 🔗 in the bio
