Women's History Awareness
What are you reading to uplift women of color during Women's History Month? 👀
Let me back up Women's History Month is an annual initiative to celebrate contributions women have made throughout history. Much like other awareness months, this intentional pause is to recognize where we are and magnify where we could/should be. As we all know women continue to be marginalized and Black women/women of color are further disenfranchised for a myriad of reasons. Let's be clear, WOMEN are awesome and continue to find ways to exist, survive, and thrive under awful circumstances. But should we have to...so what can YOU do?
SUPPORT WOMXN
And when I say women I mean anyone who identifies as a woman. If your politics excludes transwomen this post is not for you. 😤
I'm also happy to share Mocha Girls Read community is hosting a year-long initiative to engage readers to support and read works written/produced by Black people. I'm partnering with them along with Madelinewblogs in March for HERstory giveaway.
Start time: March 12 – 9:00 am EST
To give Black authors and/ books about Black Women time in the spotlight.
One to raise awareness of Black authors and Black community topics in books. Two, to promote diversity in mainstream literature. After the 2020 #BLM protest Publishers made statements to make a change in their field. As book bloggers we need to do our part and show them books by Black authors matter to us.
