Welcome to Our Canon! Together, we read and discuss books from the Black canon that we “should” have read but, for many reasons, have not. (Don’t judge us.) This includes works by giants like Toni Morrison, W.E.B. Dubois, and Zora Neal Hurston. We also talk about more contemporary works from writers like Yaa Gyasi and Ta-Nehisi Coates, works that we think and hope will become a part of the ever-expanding Black literary canon.

In this episode we describe ourselves as readers, major influences (positive or negative) on our relationship to reading, and our reason for being a part of the podcast. Enjoy!
