Mini Reviews: Diverse Nonfiction Reads --So You Want to Talk About Race and Between the World and Me

So You Want to Talk About Race

By Ijeoma Oluo

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Furthering my understanding and education is an important goal and it should be for all of us and this book breaks this important topic down into questions you might find yourself asking yourself when approaching race relations. Enough is enough and there is no excuse for you not to open yourself up and exam your own understanding and ask yourself to being willing to learn.

Between the World and Me

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars

Such a powerful book to read right now as we less than a month until one of the most pivotal elections in our country's history. Reading and listening to Coates speak his truth and the words he wrote to his son, that he blessed us with too, will stay with me long after I finished the audiobook and I put down the book.
