Hey diverse book lovers, welcome to this month’s episode of Gettin’ Lit a monthly podcast dedicated to diverse books coming out for the month. Today we’re going to be talking about The Best books to pick up in April Rain or Shine! 

My name is Lalaa and you can find me on Instagram @ThisBlackGirlReads and on today’s show we’ll discuss a book that looks at generations of Black women in Harlem who sell pieces of their bodies, Black love and magical folktales of West Africa, we’ll check out one man’s story of how he navigates being the only person of colour in predominantly white spaces and we’ll talk about the Freedom Riders of 1961. So I can’s wait to get started…
