I have a very close relationship with my mother so when I found out about What We Lose a couple of years ago I was really excited to pick it up. However, I never got a chance to find it so I sort of forgot about it but I followed Zinzi Clemmons on social media. I've been keeping up with her essays and musings for a while now so it was easy for me to get into what she was saying. Zinzi Clemmons' musings on the world around her in this book reminds me a lot of Zadie Smith, another biracial author who I respect. The narrator Thandi is so introspective and analytical and it makes for a novel that refuses to let the reader feel detached from the story. I felt everything Thandi was feeling throughout this novel. From the loss of her mother to the deterioration of her marriage and her father growing apart from her. She explores what it means when someone who practically forms your identity is ripped away from you. I found myself questioning what I would do or how I would feel if my mother was taken from me in any way. Perhaps it is because of my close relationship with my mother that I don't see any flaws with this novel but I recommend this to anyone who has lost a parent or anyone with an extraordinary relationship with their parent. It's an easygoing read without the pretentious writing style of someone of Zinzi Clemmons' caliber. What We Lose is evocative, smart, gripping, and extremely hard to put down. via @goodreads

Next book club pick for @wellreadblackgirl at @caprichosbooks is Zora Neal Hurston’s Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick with foreword by @tayari ! Come join us at @caprichosbooks on March 15th at 3PM. Support local bookstores and buy from the store directly or buy from the link above! 💋 * * * Synopsis: * Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick is an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration, gender and class, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African American folk culture. Brought together for the first time in one volume, they include eight of Hurston’s “lost” Harlem stories, which were found in forgotten periodicals and archives. These stories challenge conceptions of Hurston as an author of rural fiction and include gems that flash with her biting, satiric humor, as well as more serious tales reflective of the cultural currents of Hurston’s world. All are timeless classics that enrich our understanding and appreciation of this exceptional writer’s voice and her contributions to America’s literary traditions. * #wrbg #bookstagram #zoranealehurston #diversifybookstagram #chasingadventuresbookclub #blackhistorymonth https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Bz1ibgPXN/?igshid=lpj6rxmw1c81

I’m reading Dorothy E. Roberts’ Killing the Black Body for a class and found this clip of Dorothy Roberts discussing her book with Glory Edim, founder of Well-Read Black Girl (WRBG). She reflects on how the attacks on the reproductive rights of Black women have been increased, twenty years after the publication of her book. Roberts argues in “Killing the Black Body” that conditions placed on welfare recipients are a form of regulating black women’s bodies, and were promoted by stereotypical images of black “welfare queens who supposedly had children just to get a welfare check.” The conditions were being proposed when she was finishing the book; now they have been implemented in many states, and reproductive rights are being taken away across the US. Definitely worth a watch.
