Here we go. Lots of questions/comments/requests for more Black stories that are about everyday Black life, #BlackJoy
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">, etc. from @EdAntiRacism last night. I& #39;ll start this #thread to help. Please make sure any responses are #ownvoices only. Thanks.
Lots of my on-going personal reading here: https://drkimparker.org/2020/02/26/my-year-in-reading-2020-in-progress/">https://drkimparker.org/2020/02/2...
Coming soon: I Am Every Good Thing by @Author_DDB & @GordonCJamesArt from @nancyrosep: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/594506/i-am-every-good-thing-by-derrick-barnes-illustrated-by-gordon-james/">https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/594...
In the meantime, please read Dr. @imaniperry& #39;s Breathe (and everything else she writes because she is brilliant): https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/609122/breathe-by-imani-perry/">https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/609...
I share these urging an ABUNDANCE of caution. You have to do your own work on these. Only consider ones that are #ownvoices. Don& #39;t buy non #ownvoices texts. These aren& #39;t vetted for #ownvoices, but there are lots here that ARE #ownvoices. Buy those. ONLY THOSE.
ONLY BUY/READ/RECOMMEND THE #OWNVOICES ones (not all of these are)! Also, buy from a Black-owned bookstore (i.e., @FrugalBookstore)
