Soulwork is the radical practice of healing, resisting, and reimagining systems that were never built for Black women, marginalized genders, disabled folks, or queer communities. This reading list is your toolkit for liberation, featuring books that center our stories, honor our labor, and light the path to collective care. From Melissa Harris-Perry’s Sister Citizen to Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha’s Care Work, these texts dismantle the crooked rooms of capitalism, patriarchy, and ableism while offering blueprints for building communities where we thrive. 

Whether you’re reclaiming boundaries, redefining care, or dreaming of a more just future, these books are your companions in the work of soulwork. Support Black-owned, queer-owned, and disability-led bookstores as you build your library—because liberation begins with who we fund, not just what we read. 📚✨
