Okoye to the People
Okoye to the People | Ibi Zoboi
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Ibi Zoboi, a National Book Award Finalist and New York Times best-selling author, joins Marvel Universe storytelling with this heartfelt novel that takes Okoye to America for the very first time. Okoye is a new recruit for T'Chaka's royal guard: the Dora Milaje. Known for their loyalty and warrior abilities, the Dora are respected and revered in Okoye's home country of Wakanda. But when Okoye is sent on her very first mission--to America--she'll learn that her status as a Dora means nothing to New Yorkers and her expectations for the world outside of her own quickly fall apart. Chosen to accompany King T'Chaka on a humanitarian mission, Okoye finds herself trying to help teens dealing with addiction and gentrification in a forgotten neighborhood in Brooklyn. Caught between duty to her country and listening to her own heart, Okoye must find her own way and determine the type of Dora Milaje--and woman--she wants to be.

As a lifelong Wonder Woman fan (but no real feelings re: Marvel/DC), I may never tire of woman warrior characters. Okoye takes on a baddie (also a woman!) while exposing injustices like those that occur around gentrification. Also, NCLB takes a slap under the guise of the fictional No Nation Left Behind.

Bookzombie The new Caleb Zelic book is on my TBR for this month. 🙂 3y
Lauredhel @Bookzombie enjoy! And may we have more "mainstream" popular fiction with Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent characters where their disabilities exist in the world and so do they and it's not their whole story. 3y
