Welcome to Litsy!

I read because reading is the key that unlocks worlds upon worlds of knowledge and information, a lot of which has been historically withheld from certain communities (the black community especially) and marginalized groups of people. It is true what they say- knowledge is power, and the ability to educate oneself is one of the most valuable tools we have in the world. #blackliteracyisrevolutionary

My #bookspin list! I made sure to throw a few chunksters on the list (looking at you - What Happened by Hillary Clinton), since those are the ones that I tend to procrastinate on the most.

Just finished listening to this book. A super informational book about the history and thoughts about black women and how that influences women and the world today.

This book was really great. Going through stereotypes attributed to black women and how it affects them politically. I didn't stop finding bits I wanted to highlight and discuss. A real I'll be thinking about this for ages book. Also who aretha pairs perfectly with this book #weneeddiversebooks #booksandvinyl #readwomen
