I started a book club with my neighborhood friends and this was the first read. It’s like The Handmaid’s Tale but in terms of parenthood and every page is like a paper cut. The entire tale will haunt me for months, no doubt. It’s really upsetting and really good at the same time.
This book opened my eyes to how deeply biases affect the way we see patterns in the world. Author Jennifer L. Eberhardt looks at the way racism seeps into the way we see patterns in the world. This book has helped to engrain the deep importance of asking the right kinds of questions of ourselves before forming opinions.
This is a beautiful cookbook featuring the culinary insights of grandmothers (bibis) from eight African countries. I’m excited to experience a small taste of the rich and broad history of African cooking through this deeply personal lens. I cannot wait to cook my way through this entire book!
