Day 6||Book Rec||#diversespines challenge • • Tell Me How It Ends is incredibly timely. It is a short and profound essay on unaccompanied children who come to the USA. The book tells of their first experiences in the states, their intake. It is their journey, their struggle, their story. It is written beautifully and it is beyond insightful. Please read this book. Day 5||Books in the Air||#diversespines challenge • • I love this challenge because it’s an opportunity to lift of women of color. In this case literally. See any book you’ve read here? Tell me about them. • • Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo Searching for Zion by Emily Raboteau Caucasia by Danzy Senna This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins. Day 4|| Weekend Vibes||#diversespines challenge • • Happy Birthday to a literary legend, Octavia Butler. A trailblazer and true creative. We’re all lucky to have had you. Thank you for your words. • • This weekend we’re headed to Mexico for a wedding. Best kind of weekend vibes. • • What’re you doing this weekend? More importantly what are you reading? Day 3||Summer Reads||#diversespines challenge • • Two books I read last summer. While they’re different they are connected. Both tell stories of the Black experience and are connected to the ancestors. They’re also debut novels. Totally enjoyable and no fluff. My kind of fiction. How Soccer Explains the World||Franklin Foer||⭐️⭐️ • • We talked about this book this week on @thestackspod with Aaron Dolores, founder of @blackarrow_fc. While the writing and idea behind the book are exciting, the execution was lacking. • • Foer is willing to bring up major topics like race, nationalism, and the changing economic system, however, he doesn’t confront any of it head on. What does this mean? How do we combat this? Do we want to? The book left me feeling like Foer wanted to create more soccer fans vs have the important conversations that expose soccer to be flawed, like all institutions. For this, I found the book disappointing. • • For more on this book (full review and podcast episode) click that link in my bio. #thestacksbookclub Day 2 || Book & Food || #diversespines challenge • • I love this cookbook because the food is delicious, but what’s more, Chrissy Teigen isn’t afraid to stand up and speak out. We need more women like her. Strong. Powerful. Relentless. Witty. Passionate. Empathetic. Activist.
