Woo, I’ve got a lot of reading to do…

If you’ve read any of these books please share your perspectives on them - or add recommendations of your own not seen here!

Some particularly potent (and sometimes painful…looking at you The Color Purple) reads I personally recommend from the list:

The Color Purple by Alice Walker

The Autobiography Of Malcolm X 

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe 

Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

Also, Mod Alice loves and recommends all things Octavia E. Butler.

Looking at this relational network in terms of how you are feeling best supported by each tier, let's take a moment to check in with 1) yourself 2) your friends and family 3) your extended community Your challenge, should you choose to accept it is to reconnect with at least 3 people this week, ideally one in each level, and share your #gratitude with them for their having your back in the best way that they do.💛💙💆‍♀️ Leave a comment below if will you accept this #gratitudechallenge. I am #grateful to have friends with whom I can share personal goal progress (or sometimes the lack thereof) on a frequent basis without fear of judgement and with a ton of encouragement. That really means a lot to me and always makes me feel like I can #domore.

Ever heard of Bruce's Beach in #manhattanbeach? It's an interesting and powerful story of how this now affluent enclave came to be. "ln 1912, Mr. George Peck, one of our community's co-founders, made it possible for the area below this site to be developed as Bruce's Beach, the only beach resort in Los Angeles County for all people. Charles and Willa Bruce were the African American entrepreneurs who settled here, thus the name Bruce's Beach. This two-block neighborhood was home to several minority families and was condemned through eminent domain proceedings in 1924. Those tragic circumstances reflected the views of a different time. The land was referred to as City Park and Beach Front Park and later named Bayview Terrace Park through a community contest in 1962. The park was designated Parque Culiacan on Mar. 16, 1974 at the time of a visit by representatives of our first sister city. The Manhattan Beach City Council renamed the park Bruce's Beach in July 2006, commemorating our community's understanding that friendship, goodwill, and respect for all begins within our own boundaries and extends to the world community. All are welcome. A project of Leadership Manhattan Beach class of 2003." . . . . #americanhistory #eminentdomain #socallife #thisisamerica #socalhistory #africanamericanhistoryandculture #brucesbeach #blackhistory #historylessons https://www.instagram.com/p/BnT1Xuogg0K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nub85tyz3x70
