Black Panther: Fun Facts For Kids, Picture Books For KidsIf there’s one animal that goes by different names around the world, it’s the black panther. In the Americas, these big cats often go by the names jaguar, cougar and panther. Asia and Africa on the other hand, simply call them panthers. Black panthers belong to a group of big cats called Panthera. Since the Panthera species is composed of different cats, each cat has slight differences from others. The most striking features black panthers have that make them unique from the rest of the cats of the Panthera species are their shiny black coats and their gleaming yellow eyes. In fact, the term “black panther” refers to all members of the Panthera species with black coats.

"Couples therapy sessions slowly morphed into solitary therapy sessions. My therapist kept coming back to the question of my passions, and where I was headed. I knew it was writing. So I wrote. I wrote my pain of loss. I wrote my confusion about the existential questions that plagued me as someone who grew up in the bible belt, but had a hard time swallowing the bigotry I saw. I wrote my struggle through heartbreak and single life. I wrote my triumphs in self-confidence, and ultimately I wrote a new love story, with a new person. Ultimately, it's not about meeting the right person; instead, it is about finding out that you are quite capable of loving yourself, and anyone else loving you is just a wonderful sprinkle on top."
