The Season Finale is here! We think that we ended with a banger! We read Freshwater by Awaeke Emezi and it was a tough read for the both of us. This book is so heavy with so many topics ranging from gender identification, double consciousness, African Culture, assimilation, mental health, spirituality, sexual trauma and abuse just to name a few. Delve into this prolific work with us and see what you get.

#SeasonFinale#BlackGirlLit #LitSet

Be ready to join us when season 3 launches in April!
