Sharp, lyrical poems celebrating the Black vernacular--its influence on pop culture, its necessity for familial survival, its rite in storytelling and in creating the safety found only within its intimacy

"Terrific . . . illuminates life in this country in a strikingly original way."--Ron Charles, The Washington Post

Definition of finna, created by the author: fin-na /ˈfinə/ contraction: (1) going to; intending to rooted in African American Vernacular English] (2) eye dialect spelling of "fixing to" (3) Black possibility; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow

These poems consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy, and the use of the Black vernacular in America's vast reserve of racial and gendered epithets. Finna explores the erasure of peoples in the American narrative; asks how gendered language can provoke violence; and finally, how the Black vernacular, expands our notions of possibility, giving us a new language of hope:

nothing about our people is romantic
& it shouldn't be. our people deserve
poetry without meter. we deserve our
own jagged rhythm & our own uneven
walk towards sun. you make happening happen.
we happen to love. this is our greatest
action.

Great Color and Stylish Activewear
Size: 5-6 Years, Color: Purple, Size: 5-6 Years, Color: Purple
This girls’ tennis and golf dress stands out with a really great color and a stylish, sporty look. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable, which should be great for active movement and staying comfortable. I like that it includes built-in shorts with pockets, adding both coverage and convenience. The racerback design and fitted cut give it a modern, athletic style that’s perfect for sports or even casual wear. It seems well thought out for both performance and everyday use. Overall, a cute and functional outfit that’s both practical and stylish.

Cute, made well and fits good
Size: 7-8 Years, Color: Purple
The Hvididan Girls Tennis Dress Cute Sleeveless Athletic Dress with Shorts is made well. The purple color is pretty and my granddaughter's favorite. The racer back style makes it cool for the summer. The material is a nice weight, very stretchy and so soft to the touch. The shorts have an elastic waist with a pocket on one of the legs. It fits my 9 granddaughter well. She can wear it to school, to play sports or just to play in. Good quality product at a reasonable price.

Fabulous!
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: X-Small, Color: Flamingo Pink
These are AMAZING! Just received my first two pairs ( black and flamingo pink) and I am back ordering more! They are so smooth and soft and feel great! They fit so well-not to restrictive but have strength enough in the Lycra to look amazing (not the thin, flimsy, cheap tights/leggings). I live in the Sunshine State so I can wear these to workout and run indoor or outdoor practically year round. I prefer this shorter length because they are cooler to wear in the 95° heat 100% humidity. So hoping they make these in the green color and the bright blue color that is available in the full length active leggings! These are my new favorite crop active leggings! Please, please, please make more colors! Amazon, these are fabulous quality and style and at this price point, I'd buy every color and pattern available (I just don't do flesh tones).

Super comfortable fabric and launders well.
Special Size: 19" Capri with Pockets, Size: Large, Color: Taupe
Super soft fabric with a nice high waist that does not seem to rolll down when exercising, Yeah! As always I love a good cell phone pocke. After the comfortable fit I also ordered the Slate Blue version. BTW, I have had 2 knee replacements so this below the knee length is a perfect solution for my vanity issues!.
