Icon of our favorite movies & TV shows and soon-to-air TV show The Varnell Hill Show, Tommy Davidson, wrote 📚 “Living in Color.”
From being abandoned as an infant in Mississippi to becoming a star on the groundbreaking In Living Color, this hilarious and heartfelt memoir takes Tommy behind the scenes of one of television’s most iconic shows. He shares stories about the Wayans family, Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Lopez, and many other legends while reflecting on his own journey through Hollywood, race, family, and fame.
It’s a funny, honest, and unforgettable story of a life that was never simply black and white.
🤎Tiffany D. Jackson
I’m a huge Tiffany D. Jackson fan! Love her down to the ground! If she writes, I’m going to read it. If you’re trying to get back into reading, start with her, specifically “Monday’s Not Coming.” It’s my favorite, and I made sure to tell her that I reread it over and over again and bawl my eyes out. Tiffany also has a new release called 📚 “Ghost In the Night”:
Twelve-year-old Harmony arrives in Savannah for a summer with her blues musician father, only to find a city haunted by more than just its history. A missing boy, a chilling ghost photo, and a web of lies pull her into a dangerous mystery she never expected.
In a place where nothing is quite what it seems, can Harmony uncover the truth before it’s too late?
