I am not a music head but I do have a few favorote albums and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is one of them. I loved it from the first time I heard Doo Wop when I was 10 years old. This was a really interesting look at what this album meant for feminisim, and intersectionality. Helped me put im words a lot of the feelings I have when listening to Ms. Hill #blackgirlsrock #blackgirlmagic #blisty
#booked2019 A book about a musician

This book was on Obama's best of 2018 list and so it moved up on my TBR list. This story was much lighter than I expected, and was a quick read. I enjoyed Jones' prose and character development. I expected a grittier, darker story, and was pleasantly surprised by the way it ended. This book did take an important look at social justice and the prison system in america, while still telling a hopeful story.

This play, written in 1959, could have been set in 2019. Which is a sad commentary on the lack of progress we made in this country.
This was one of my grandmother's favorite films. As an adult, I can really appreciate the Younger family and their struggle to provide a better a life. But what really struck me, was the sterotypes of educated black people, within the black community. It is something I have experienced first hand.

Great book on following your passion. Really demonstrates how we can give up on us and our own passion with some other great things in life like marriage etc however to be completely fulfilled with no regrets one must be able to live both lives which creates an alternate future for you
