Lakota Woman | 
pick4/5⭐ Not an easy book. It depicts the grim reality of living in the USA as a Native American woman: the racism, police brutality, sexual assault & rape, murder, kidnapping, cultural annihilation, dehumanization, & injustice at every level possible. The author's voice shines through with so many emotions & self-reflections. These are the historical & current issues that can't be brushed under a rug & can't continue to be unrepaired. #roll100
pickThis was a wonderful,heartbreaking book. Wow! If you want to gry, get angry, be hopeful,have your heart ripped out then this is the book for you. I highly recommend it
Picked up an unassuming (book jacket-less) hardback at the local library book store and was rewarded with this inscription! So I had to get it and I‘m excited to start this one I‘d never heard of before.
pick2 most recent audiobooks I've completed. Lakota Woman was the only book about Native Americans that I've read that wasn't a history of Native Americans-so that was exciting. Narrator was excellent. In this book she recounts her life & all the badassery she's been a part of, including being 9 months pregnant at Wounded Knee. Born a Crime was incredible- Trevor Noah's narration is hilarious, his story is amazing, and speaking of badass- his MOM!👍🏼

Got some education books for Dec-Jan/Feb. Here is what I will be studying- poverty, race, justice, dissent, and hope. I love that I get to pick my own education.

This was my reading view this morning over the bluff! Too bad the kitten was too distracting to get any reading done haha 😂
Just starting this audio book! Heard about it from BookRiot podcast
Started this today and already my heart is full of sorrow. What a story of resilience, survival, and bravery. I haven't read enough Native American/Indigenous People's literature but I intend to fix that. #overthis #NoDAPL
