Enjoy:πŸ‘‡
1. Have a Little Faith [Book]

A book on losing belief and finding it again.

The lessons in this book settle onto your consciousness like a warm blanket, without being preachy or being hurled from some moral pedestal.

Great thing about it is the story is true!

[@MitchAlbom]
2. The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X [Book]

A great example of the steadfastness of a good journalist. Chronicling the life of possibly the most important symbol of black manhood in the 20th century without pandering.

[Les Payne and Tamara Payne]
3. The Water Dancer [Book]

Beautifully written novel that merges the slavery narrative with fantasy and quest.

Coates imagining of the underground railroad makes one want to examine all stories about African resilience in this way.

[Ta-Nehisi Coates]
4. Kintu [Book]

For a story told across such a wide span of time, it feels so fluid and familiar at the same time.

The book gives a snapshot ofΒ different periods of Uganda’s history through dynamic and engaging characters.

[Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi]
5. StudioBinder [YouTube Channel]

A production management solution with interesting storytelling tips. Each video is also very well put together.

6. The Harder They Fall - [Soundtrack]

John shared this simply because he really enjoyed every song here.

His favorite: Black Skin Mile - @CeeLoGreen
