Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin Luther, and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them. In her groundbreaking and essential debut The Three Mothers, scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs celebrates Black motherhood by telling the story of the three women who raised and shaped some of America's most pivotal heroes.

Story5 out of 5 stars 180
The night of May 25, 2020 changed America. George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was killed during an arrest in Minneapolis when a White cop suffocated him. The video of that night’s events went viral, sparking the largest protests in the nation’s history and the sort of social unrest we have not seen since the '60s. While Floyd’s death was certainly the catalyst (heightened by the fact that it occurred during a pandemic whose victims were disproportionately of color), it was in truth the fuse that lit an ever-filling powder keg.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,067
God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

Publisher's Summary
Narrated by Yemisi Adegoke, Yomi Adegoke, Paula Akpan, Sheila Atim, Siana Bangura, Jendella Benson, Candice Brathwaite, Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, Bernardine Evaristo, Elisabeth Fapuro, Toni-Blaze Ibekwe, Kuchenga, Temi Mwale, Eunice Olumide, Abiola Oni, Phoebe Parke, Princess Peace, Fiona Rutherford, Sophia Thakur, Kuba Shand-Baptiste and Elizabeth Uviebinené. Additionally performed by Nneka Okoye.
An important and timely anthology of Black British writing, edited and curated by the authors of the highly acclaimed, ground-breaking Slay in Your Lane. Slay in Your Lane Presents: Loud Black Girls features essays from the diverse voices of more than 20 established and emerging Black British writers.
In Loud Black Girls, the authors of Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible, Yomi Adegoke and Elizabeth Uviebinené, ask Black British female writers to focus on what happens next? What does the future hold in the uncertain post-Brexit world of Donald Trump and the rise of the far right, where there is also more opportunity for Black women to thrive than there has ever been before?
Despite young Black women reading more than any other ethnic group in the UK, they are still largely invisible as published authors. Loud Black Girls seeks to change that by giving Black women a voice and a platform. Listeners can expect frank, funny and fearless contributions about what matters to Black women today, from a range of prominent voices. The book features a contribution by the winner of the submission competition, an introduction by Yomi and Elizabeth and a foreword by Bernardine Evaristo.
Essays from: Yemisi Adegoke, Paula Akpan, Sheila Atim, Siana Bangura, Jendella Benson, Candice Brathwaite, Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, Toni-Blaze Ibekwe, Neo Jessica Johnson (NAO), Kuchenga, Temi Mwale, Eunice Olumide, Abiola Oni, Phoebe Parke, Princess Peace, Fiona Rutherford, Kuba Shand-Baptiste, Sophia Thakur and Selina Thompson.
