Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves by Glory Edim
5.0
I’m so glad I finally picked this up from my bookshelf, because my reading slump was soooo deep! This collection has taken me out of my slump and imbibed me with new inspiration.
This anthology is a wonderful ode to Black sisterhood and to reading. Each contributor’s take on reading/writing/existing as a Black woman in this world felt like journal entries laden with affirmations to the reader and themselves. To have so many established writers contributing in this collection is an honor I’m sure Glory is forever proud of.
My favorite essays were by- Renée Watson, Stephanie Powell Watts, Bsrat Mezghebe, Mahogany L. Browene & Kaitlyn Greenidge’s many recommendations at the end were amazing.
