Thorn to the Eye

Releasing February 6, 2026

     Titled Thorn to the Eye due to the proverbial thorn rose-colored glasses provides most of humanity, this literary work delves into the mindsets of Americans post-slavery. this nonfiction work is a collection of history and social analysis as author, Jay Lovelii dissects how white supremacy shapes how we view religion, gender, sex, education, and many other life factors. In this patriarchal system of white supremacy, anti-Blackness is interwoven in the fabric of society, and reading this book will give you a deeper look into the ways it is.

    With each chapter, Thorn to the Eye challenges readers to confront their own implicit conditioning, reclaim their cultural and spiritual autonomy, and see the world as it truly is—not as it’s been designed to appear. More than a critique, it is a call to awaken, heal, and rebuild consciousness outside the confines of oppression.

This book is both mirror and medicine—an urgent guide for Black people seeking to unplug from the system and remember who they were before the world told them who to be.

    All Paperback and E-book buyers will get a free downloadable Epub link for the book on the release date February 6th.
