December 08, 2021 I'm have Real Reading Talk with Aminah Abdul-Wadood
In this episode I got to talk with an awesome and brilliant young lady that I've had the pleasure of knowing for over 10 years. She is talking about her experiences as a child when it comes to literacy. She also gives some great pointers on how to encourage more young people to want to read. Her grace, sweetness and thoughtfulness was really exuding throughout this whole episode. Make sure you have your notebooks and pens handy because Aminah was dropping dimes, nuggets and jewels.
Book recommendation by Aminah: From the desk of Zoe Washington by Janae Marks

December 03, 2021 Our Black children are not inferior to no one!
In this episode I reference the book The Developmental Psychology of the Black child by Dr. Amos Wilson in which he talks about how advanced our Black babies are in comparison to white babies. However due to this cruel system of white supremacy that begins to change for our Black children at around the age of 3. This reference is extremely crucial to note because subconsciously due to the inferiority complex that Black people have bought into we tend to doubt our Black children's genius, and we don't prepare them adequately in all areas of life so that they can thrive in a system that has been set up to destroy them. In the second part of this episode I had the pleasure of talking to Hassannah Abdul-Wadood a brilliant and beautiful 16 year old about her reading experiences, advice on how to get our young people into reading and her book recommendations as well.

Hassannah's book recommendations:
Role of thunder, hear my cry by Mildred D. Taylor
