Mini-Review Monday – Well-Read Black Girl (Book Review)

I’m trying out a new series! If you’d like to participate, just comment down below. Mini-Review Monday is just that, a mini-review on a Monday. It can be on books, products, or TV shows/movies. I’m planning to use it for my Netgalley reviews.

Well-Read Black Girl is a collection of essays compiled by Glory Edim, founder of the online community baring the same name. These essays, written by black women writers, explore the influence that literature has had on them as writers and women discovering themselves.

Each women’s voice brings out that importance of representation. Specific novels are addressed as having more notable influence. There are an array of backgrounds, cultures, and time periods that have impacted these women. It’s a lovely read.
