Rediscovering the Joy of Reading and Exploring Justice Through Vigilante Narratives


In this episode of Discovering Delight, I share my recent journey of reigniting my passion for reading after a hiatus, motivated by Angela Makholwa's book 'Black Widow Society.' I dive into the captivating story of a black women-led vigilante group that helps women escape abusive marriages through drastic actions. This narrative sparks a deeper reflection on justice, accountability, and the role of community in protecting vulnerable individuals. I discuss my thoughts on the deficiencies of current justice systems, the principle of equal retribution, and the concept of mob justice. Join me for an engaging session filled with thought-provoking ideas and reflections on societal values.
