[#race & #culture #1/5] This week, I’m sharing five things that have helped me in my learning journey about race and culture. Each day I’ll share one thing: a film, a book, a singer, a poem, and finally, a thought. Today, let’s start with the book: this one took me on quite a journey...
📘Book:
‘Homegoing’ by Yaa Gyasi.
This is a sweeping, emotional, historical story that stayed with me long after I read it. It was the first fictional piece I read about slavery. The biggest change I noticed in myself after this book was deeper awareness, empathy, and expanded perspective. The way the characters’ lives all inter-connect from different times, periods, tribes and parents is both beautiful and heart-wrenching all at once.
Have you read this book? What did you think of it?
Tomorrow, look out for the film recommendation :).
