“A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney deserves all the love! McKinney is a pioneer in race-related pay transparency and cool, Black girls with superpowers.”

“Denene Millner's One Blood is a book that I haven't stopped thinking about since I read it last summer. This multigenerational saga is the absolute perfect book club pick and is based on Denene's own childhood and adoption story. One Blood follows the stories of three women who are tied together by blood, love, and family secrets spanning from the Great Migration to the civil unrest of the early 2000s. ”

“The Talk by Darrin Bell is an emotionally charged graphic novel detailing the complicated and painful conversations that Black parents are forced to have with their children in regards to dealing with law enforcement. It's eye opening, heartbreaking, and such an impactful read. ”
