Not Just Banned — The Erasure of Black Books


Listen Later

Black books aren't just being banned—they’re being erased. Quietly. Systemically. From classrooms, libraries, and publishing houses. In this Believe Black People episode, Black empowerment storyteller Ama-Robin breaks down how erasure works—and how we fight back.

This isn’t about asking for space. It’s about reclaiming it.
