Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

It's not too late to join the discussion on the graphic novel Banned Book Club by Kim Hyun Sook and Ryan Estrada. This week we are discussing WHY this book was put on the ban list and what that tells us about progress. 💙📚
