What are we reading this month? Black History Month is always a great time to get caught up with all of the history that we haven’t learned in school or through mainstream media. I like to immerse myself in all that is black and amazing. Growing up going to schools where I was usually the only black kid, or one of just a few, black history was just slavery, and then we were magically released (!), and that was that.<\/p>\n
No one talked about black inventors, musicians, designers, scientists… no one beyond George Washington Carver was mentioned. He was it. I learn something new every year during Black History Month, and I love sharing what I learn with you.<\/p>\n
This month’s “required reading” includes Jamaican American style icon Constance White’s book, “How to Slay.”\u00a0<\/a> It was released right around this time during Black History Month last year, and it is available on Amazon<\/a> and at your local library (at least it is at mine!).<\/p>\n
