RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
The Water Dancer delves into magical realism and familiar themes of justice, humanity, freedom, and equality. Ta-Nehisi Coates sets his debut novel in pre-Civil War Virginia. Though the prose is excellent and interesting, I found the story largely forgettable.
I would not be the person I am today without these authors, their stories, the characters, and the challenges they gave me to face in the mirror and the world. Black authors have done more to open my mind than any other demographic.
Happy Black History Month!!! I'm doing what I can to open people's minds and break down racism. I don't have a huge platform, but I'll use what I have to make the world a better place for everyone.
We Were Eight Years in Power by Ta-Nehisi Coates is an amazing look into the deeply rooted problems of American society.
I am taking my first actual days off from work in years. I normally bring work with me, but I'm taking three days to focus on the ocean and these books.
