Listen "The importance of Black stories and the Black Women Storytellers we wish we learned about in school"

Episode Synopsis

Black womxn and femmes have always been incredible storytellers, though most of us have gone through the bulk of our educational years without ever hearing one of their names. How many times were you handed a book with a white author's name on it? And how many times were you taught that male voices made the best storytellers? The world became a different place for us when we grew up and discovered there were books written by womxn that looked like us. For Black History Month we want to celebrate these womxn!Purchase our “Forgotten Black women writers & storytellers” PDF hereFollow us on InstagramPurchase our  30-day JournalCheck us out on TwitterInterested in joining Book Club?
