Being chronically ill, immune compromised, and financially limited makes it hard for me to do a lot of activism and resistance activities. But educating myself is one of the most powerful things I can do right now.

What books are you reading this month?

Please support you local bookstore or library. Bookshop.org supports independent bookstores and authors. You can even select which Black owned bookstore you want to support! They also have e-books.

Some books that I have enjoyed:
-The Parable of the Sower/Talents
-Just Mercy - I'm about 3/4 of the way through
-Matriarch

Books on my TBR:
-Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria?
-Hood Feminism
-How to be an Antiracist
-Manifestations of Thought: When the Dragon Comes

I will be finishing both of them this month.

I also want to read The Canopy Keepers. I got it as a Prime First Reads and haven't read it yet.

I'm so glad I heard one of the student leaders acknowledge the privilege and that we can't allow this to continue because "it doesn't affect us"
