#IntegrateYourShelves
blurb

A Black Women's History of the United States | Kali Nicole Gross, Daina Ramey Berry

I‘m listening to this #audiobook while running a few errands. It‘s a slow read and dense with details but very much worth the read. I think this will be better served as a print book in my collection so that I can refer back to it later but the only way I‘ll read it cover to cover is on audio. #Blitsy #BlackLitsy #BlackHistory #ReadDiverseBooks #IntegrateYourShelves

bnp This one is on my list, just don't know when. 3y

How to Be an Antiracist | Ibram X. Kendi

I‘ve been consuming a lot about anti-racism lately & one thing that really stuck with me was that “diversity” is more about *looking* like you‘re trying while “integration” means that we're truly unified.

The seed for an #IntegrateYourShelves project was planted. For now, it will be a weekly prompt to get us looking through our reading habits and our shelves. If you'd like to participate, please sign up with the link in the comments!

ChasingOm By the way, this won't be a space for judgment of our own (or others') reading habits; it's simply meant to start the work of integration in the way this community does best -- books! I'll start the prompts next Sunday.

Emilymdxn Joined so fast! If you need any help administrating let me know, I'd love to be a part of helping. If we got an email list together of people who were interested, or a whatsapp group, maybe we could get a discussion going to share articles and recommendations for getting diversity across all different genres etc? or make a collaborative google doc of recommendations in all different genres? 4y
ChasingOm @Emilymdxn Oooh! I‘ll add email address to the form. I was about to tag you in the comments and thank you for showing there was interest but then my boyfriend asked me to buy him turnips on Animal Crossing. 😂 4y
