Darkroom: A Memoir in Black and White is an arresting and moving personal story about childhood, race, and identity in the American South, rendered in stunning illustrations by the author, Lila Quintero Weaver. In 1961, when Lila was five, she and her family emigrated from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Marion, Alabama, in the heart of Alabama's Black Belt. As educated, middle-class Latino immigrants in a region that was defined by segregation, the Quinteros occupied a privileged vantage from which to view the racially charged culture they inhabited. Weaver and her family were firsthand witnesses to key moments in the civil rights movement. But Darkroom is her personal story as well: chronicling what it was like being a Latina girl in the Jim Crow South, struggling to understand both a foreign country and the horrors of our nation's race relations. Weaver, who was neither black nor white, observed very early on the inequalities in the American culture, with its blonde and blue-eyed feminine ideal. Throughout her life, Lila has struggled to find her place in this society and fought against the discrimination around her.Binding Type: Paperback

Great for sensitive skin
Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack)
There is a lot of hand washing in our house and one kid was getting chapped hands from every soap. On a mission to discover the perfect soap, this one came out on top. It’s lightweight and easy to rinse off, moisturizing without leaving a greasy feeling, smells nice, and a little goes a long ways. It works great in every foam dispenser we have tried. Skin is healed and clean.

Botana oil for hair growth still waiting for results
6/2/2026 :There’s really no smell it moisturizes your hair. The ingredients are not damaging to my hair or scalp. There’s no greasiness. As far as the hair growth part of it I’m still waiting to see results and if or when I will update, but I would try it I mean, whatever we got to lose, but our hair and that I don’t mean that in a bad way, I’m being serious..
