[Education] Punished for Dreaming

I am not an expert by any means, but I do feel like I know a lot more than I did a decade ago thanks to these amazing authors. If you are also looking for more information about Black History in America and current policies that affect equality today. 

[Women’s History] Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts (graphic novel)

A note: I haven’t been reading many heavy or difficult books in the past year and a half while I’ve been dealing with Long Covid, so you may have seen these books before, since only two were new for 2023!

[Anti-racism] So You Want to Talk About Race & How to Be an Antiracist

[Instersectionality] Sister Outsider

[Current-ish Events) We Were Eight Years in Power
