The facts here might be outdated, but the principles aren‘t. I was captivated by these Massey lectures in 2005, given by a brilliant and dedicated Canadian diplomat and advocate whose burning passion for justice for Africans, people with AIDS, and women is palpable. He deconstructs racism and sexism that perpetuate the pandemic, and names needed changes. Progress has been made, but more is needed.

God what a refreshing book! Leave it to a woman who is 90 and lived through so much and made such an impact on the world to renew my hope. Jane shares stories of her life as a scientist and activist that give her four reasons to have hope for the future. The #audiobook is a very well produced conversation between the two authors.

#ImASaint #Nonfiction22 #Tanzania #ReadingAfrica2022 Would also work for #DRC 👍🏻

Cinfhen I have this lined up for #ReadingAfrica22 !!! Glad to hear it‘s a pick 2y

Megabooks Idk why I didn‘t think of this for #HopePunk, but after reading about it, this book definitely fits. #Booked2022 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 2y
Cinfhen I think #HopePunk needs to include a dystopian angle too…so it‘s less #grimdark 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ 2y
Megabooks @Cinfhen okay…then I think this would be better. To tell you why I‘d have to give spoilers but it‘s dystopian in a January 6/current events kind of way but with a hopeful ending both to the storyline and in why the author wrote it. 👍🏻 (edited) 2y
Megabooks @Cinfhen thanks!! 2y
Cinfhen Yay!!! I‘ll look for it!! It‘s getting so much press!! And though I didn‘t love his first book, I‘m curious enough to read his new one ❤️ 2y
