We’re still not over the official kickoff event for Black History Month, the #Grammys. Never cancelled. Always on time.
We at Hillman Grad Books wanted to bring Lorraine Hansberry’s legacy to the next generation, and we’re so thrilled it is already having an impact on young readers. What I Must Tell the World is a Stonewall Books Award Honoree! The Stonewall Books Award is the first and most enduring award for LGBTQIA books, and we are so proud to be among this year’s recipients. Written by @jaylesliebooks and illustrated by @loveiswiseillu, What I Must Tell the World vividly captures Lorraine Hansberry’s journey — from finding her voice as a playwright to embracing her queer identity.  Whatever your dreams are, they are important. Look after them. You never know how far your legacy will go, and who you will inspire. What I Must Tell the World is available wherever you like to buy books! #WhatIMustTelltheWorld #HillmanGradBooks #Zando

Shoutout to 90’s sitcoms, especially In The House! Those early NBC and UPN days were golden! We don’t talk about that enough. A huge salute to the showrunners, cast, and crew who brought us pure entertainment. LL Cool J as Marion Hill, Debbie Allen’s brilliance, Maia Campbell’s charm, Jeffrey Wood’s energy, and Alfonso Ribeiro’s wit—this show was packed with talent! Let’s not forget Kim Wayans, whose comedic timing was simply iconic. From laughs to heartfelt moments, In The House defined an era and gave us stories we’ll never forget. Those late 90s vibes truly hit different! Full episode available on all podcast platforms! And if you want to see all the magic unfold, watch the episode on the Hillman Grad YouTube channel! Link in bio, partnered with @LemonadaMedia. #InTheHouse #DebbieAllen
