I missed out on the pre-order to get some sweet bamboo earrings. I was super excited to see Jackson’s new release earlier this fall. It was great commentary on the trauma Black woman and girls are subjected to and how the world blames them for that trauma or forgets about them completely. I was so taken with Monday’s Not Coming when I read it earlier this year. But fame comes with a price, and she finds herself caught in the hell that is Korey Fields (you have to say the whole thing like Peter Kavinsky). Before the body, we see Enchanted trying to get her big break as a singer, with the help of Korey Fields. The story opens with Enchanted Jones coming to after a blackout with blood-beet juice-on her hands, presumably the blood of the mega star, Korey Fields. An all-powerful and dearly beloved R&B singer who has his sights on fresh, under-aged, talent? One with a dark side and who likes power and control? Seems a lot like the whole docuseries Surviving R. Jackson, I had an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.
