The Literary Tea Room

...a place to sit back, relax and unwind with a cup of herbal tea and chat about books, writers and the literary arts. Some people that know me personally have heard me talking about buying a cozy, Victorian home and opening a literary tea room. However, the more I thought about it in this era of globalization; a "physical spot" would be limited to the people that could physically come and visit. However, this virtual Literary Tea room can connect people to "chats without borders."

Black History Month - Day 13 Book Recommendation: God, Dr. Buzzard, and the Bolito Man: A Saltwater Geechee Talks About Life on Sapelo Island, Georgia By Cornelia Walker Bailey

This book is both a historical cultural narrative and memoir, written by Cornelia Bailey, who was a lifelong resident of the island. The book tells the stories of the history & lives of the people of Sapelo Island and the enduring beliefs of Geechee and Gullah people. It’s an interesting read, and shows the transformation and continuation of African traditions in the US during & after enslavement.
