The literary canon/ Libertie by Kaitlynn Greenidge
And so I want to highlight, not just for this month, not just for black history, but I want to highlight the works of black women who write and write well. And I want to bring their work out into mainstream and to not isolate them into a box where you may think that they're just writing for a black audience. Their work is universal. It is connecting, it is loving, and sometimes it's informational. Sometimes it's. Many times
It's a falling in love story. It's a teenage puppy love story. It's a wondering about your sexuality story, having these questions about who you are in your youth and how do you connect the dots. It's also a story about socialism, for lack of a better word, being an outlier. It's a story about being. Holding space. It's a story about holding space for black women as medical professionals
If you have a chance, make this one book that you read this year. Take your time out, get downloaded onto your Kindle, listen to the audiobook. Do whatever you have to, because Caitlin Greenwich is a master storyteller. Where some writers, they present the case in their story, they're showing us detail by detail what is going on

Hello. Before I sign off, I wanted to quickly because I, because I'm holding space at the moment for black women writers. I do just, I do have this thought about a book that I'm reading currently by a black male writer. And so I don't want to give him a whole episode. I just want to give you a little slither. So to just tantalize your taste buds a little bit so that you want to go and support and read his work as well
