When Harold began to share the odes he was writing on Instagram and had no idea they would go viral, or that the women he looked up to and was constantly inspired by would see and share his work on their own social media. Black Roses is a compilation of Harold’s amazing odes, both existing and brand new. Divided into five sections—advocates, curators, innovators, luminaries, trailblazers—the iconic women featured within these pages head movements, fight for equality, change the status quo, inspire a new generation of creators, and more. Through these beautifully written verses, Harold does not simply place the Black women in this book on a pedestal but rather creates meaningful connections between these beloved figures and the lives and experiences of readers of all backgrounds.
