The Wind on Her Tongue

“We hold in our bodies the residual effects of powerful Black historical figures being demonized. In The Wind on Her Tongue, Anita redeems their legacy and helps us heal in the present moment through her storytelling. This novel is a profound journey that ultimately helps us remember who we really are.” —Dr. Resmaa Menakem, New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother's Hands “You can feel Kopacz’s love for the culture steeped in every line of this novel. The Wind on Her Tongue reimagines difficult parts of our past, giving flowers to many historical Black figures that never got their due.” —Mara Brock Akil, showrunner and creator “Everyone right now is looking for who they really are and where they really came from. What Anita is doing in her novels is the work for us: researching and connecting us to all of these bigger concepts of African spirituality. She is making them feel *wink, wink* fictional for us to lean into them and experience them without fear or insecurity about the religions we were taught. She is linking us all closer to our collective truth.” —Grace Harry, creative muse, pleasure instigator, and author of The Joy Strategist “Anita's work is nothing short of transformative. As an author, she has an incredible ability to take her readers on a profound journey from point A to point B, leaving them forever changed. If you are seeking a reading experience that goes beyond entertainment and delves into the heart of transformation, Anita's books are a must-read.” —Vanessa Standard, bestselling author of Self-Love is Free
