    Assata’s book is a must read. I would like to add that for me it was a difficult and painful read as a black woman, so take your time when reading it💛 her story and place in history is powerful.

    Difficult read, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” by Maya Angelou. Read it in college as part of my Women’s History course. Still thought provoking after so many years.
    Do you have a list for 14/15 age group? Movies and books?

    Personally, I found Their Eyes Were Watching God difficult to read because of the broken English. Might give it another try..I have 6 Audible credits I'm trying to use up, so trying to get good recommendations.

    • @ChocolateCoveredPages
      @ChocolateCoveredPages  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes and because of that I find Zora’s books are best taken in by audio. Well I hope you’ve gotten some good recs!

    OK, I am going to come out of left field with this. I am not a woman and do not go to church.
    Black Man's Burden (1961) by Mack Reynolds
    That book was written by a White man. So definitely left field. I wonder if a Black man, or woman, could have gotten it published back then. But you do not have to buy it. It is free on the Internet.
    Assata is the book that might relate to this one best.
    Look at the global economy and chip war witj China. Consider the technology you use for your BookTube. I used to work for IBM and my smartphone still amazes me.
    Teach Yourself Electricity and Electronics by Stan Gibilisco
    I wish someone had given me something like that when I was in 7th grade.

    Hi beautiful! I’m so happy I found your channel. I have been wanting to read more this past year and I see reading vlogs but not anyone who looks like us, so I searched books for black women and there you were. 🫶🏾 You have totally peaked my interest. I think I want to start with Assata. I’m pretty sure it’s because I enjoy quick reads online about people and actual events lol. Sula will be right after 😅 New Subbie 💕 keep going my sis! ✨
