lisacanteven's review against another edition
My fuzzy brain caused by certain conditions in my life right now will not allow me to focus on an anthology, and it's due back at the library.

I definitely think it would've been five stars if I were reading it physically rather than audibly. I love Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, Roxane Gay, bell hooks, etc. and they were all mentioned several times in various essays throughout this anthology. I loved hearing Black voices speak out about their culture, their experiences, their hardships, and how books/authors have impacted their lives. I will probably purchase a physical copy of this book in order to get a more thorough reading experience with it.

I’m so glad I finally picked this up from my bookshelf, because my reading slump was soooo deep! This collection has taken me out of my slump and imbibed me with new inspiration.
This anthology is a wonderful ode to Black sisterhood and to reading. Each contributor’s take on reading/writing/existing as a Black woman in this world felt like journal entries laden with affirmations to the reader and themselves. To have so many established writers contributing in this collection is an honor I’m sure Glory is forever proud of.
My favorite essays were by- Renée Watson, Stephanie Powell Watts, Bsrat Mezghebe, Mahogany L. Browene & Kaitlyn Greenidge’s many recommendations at the end were amazing.
