I decided to take a little break from my usual self-help and other heavy non-fiction books and picked up "The Two Lives of Sara" by Catherine Adel West. This fiction novel is based in the late 1960s and follows a young woman named Sara that decided to leave Chicago for Memphis. I'm only a few chapters in and her story is starting to unfold but it made me wonder why she decided to move to a southern state given that this takes place during the Black migration. Which leads me t

Yes, my pup Sasha got her paws on this one before me 🤦🏽‍♀️. Anyway this is another highly recommended book. 150 tips that support radical self-care for Black women written by a Black woman - from Letting Go of Imposter Syndrome to Wearing Your Natural Hair to Embracing Bad Days. I couldn’t put this down while in the store so I had to purchase. 🖤🤎 (Radical self-care is explained in the book)

Will’s story is pretty interesting. I enjoyed reading about a few things: the early part of his rap career and why he chose not to curse, how laughter + entertaining family kept the peace at home as a kid, how he prepared for his role as Muhammad Ali, method acting and why he will never do it again, his love/hate relationship with his late father, meeting Nelson Mandela (and his regret of not spending more time with him), his past relationships, and marriage. It was also inte

A few days into the new month - so here’s a new book for me. Two Black men in Baltimore share the same name but their lives go in two very different directions. One thing I loved about this book is that there is an extensive list of youth-focused organizations listed in the back.

I put my other books on pause for right now to get into Kendrick’s story real quick. Currently on the chapter around his trip to South Africa, shortly after he lost to Macklemore at the Grammys for best rap album 🥴🥴. The trip turned out to be a pivotal moment in his career and also helped him pull together TPAB. Really good read so far.
