Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m old enough to have the 30th anniversary edition on my shelf instead of the tagged edition. I‘ll be re-reading mine later tonight.

And this year when Martin Luther King Jr Day falls on his actual birthday, I think I‘ll start Black History Month early, similar to leap year, to make up for all those days that are shorted every other February.

A short but very timely read, I breezed through this book and by all the quotes I posted you should be able to tell that I found most of it very useful & quite interesting, even if disheartening at times. Definitely a must read for our current times....although sadly it most likely won't be read by the portion of the population that could benefit from it. 😕

Very moving graphic novel, with contributions from multiple artists expressing their fear, sadness, loss, hope, and bravery (plus so much more) following The Pulse nightclub shooting. Definitely worth checking out, but bring your tissues with you. #ManyStoriesMonday #OwnVoices #MulticulturalMonday #DiversityMonday

Moving powerful read about being black in America today. Definitely recommend this one! Plus it's a great choice for #ManyStoriesMonday #OwnVoices #DiversityMonday #MulticulturalMonday

Funny take on the serious issues of racism & other-ness in the US written and read by an Iranian-American Social Justice Comedian. A nice break from super serious reading, but also a funny & thoughtful look at the Muslim American experience in this country during a time when muslims are often discriminated against as being all radical, terrorists, etc.Now off to look up her TED talk. 😉 #WNDB #DiversityMonday #MulticulturalMonday #ManyStoryMonday

Watching the author of this great book discussing the last political debate, the tapes, the body language, the gender components.... priceless! I can't wait to read the book she'll write when this election cycle is finished! #WeNeedDiverseBooks #ManyStoryMonday #DiversityMonday

This book of photos and interviews captures the spectrum of transgender - intersex - gender fluid - gender neutral - from a teenage perspective for a YA audience. I started this for #bannedbooksweek and recommend it to you on #diversitymonday

Round 2 of #textonlycovers for #booktober.
I couldn't find Lez Talk on Litsy. I will have to request the book to be added!
I don't think I've ever read any books about the black lesbian experience. That was a surprising realization! I've read plenty of LGBT books, but only a small fraction are about women. And none about black women! 😬 I really need to fix that. Does anyone have any recommendations?
