So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that.

Story
As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in England's Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognizable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song.

A lack of quality sleep can hinder your alertness and quality of life while awake, as anyone with sleeping issues already knows. If we do not put an emphasis on getting the right kind and amount of sleep every night, it can negatively affect every other part of our bodies. Meditation enables you to quiet your mind and refocus your thoughts so that anxiety and worries do not plague you as you try to sleep.

Story
Insomnia is a disorder in which the individual suffering from it struggles to fall asleep or stay asleep. Remember, good sleep defined being able to fall asleep into good, healthy sleep as taking up to 30 minutes, and falling asleep after waking up to take as long as 20 minutes. However, when you suffer from insomnia, even that is an impossibility. You may find that you cannot fall asleep at all. You could feel like, for example, you want to sleep, and you need to sleep, but the sleep will just not come, no matter how long you try.

Keke Palmers vocal deliverance of the story has been the best I’ve ever listen to. The storytellers pitch and voice is so soothing. I have enjoyed falling asleep to this story multiple times. A must audio for those wanting to awake feeling refreshed from a solid sleep.

The narrators voice sounds almost like a whisper. I have been listening for 3 nights and I still haven't heard the end of the story which is amazing because I have tried so many other options that haven't worked for me. I definitely recommend listening to this story.

Beautiful Indian Story of the Dreamcatcher
This is one of the most lovely short tales offered by Audible. It's very soothing and descriptive and perfect for bedtime. Appropriate for all ages. I hope to find more stories of the Ojibwe tribe, as I was so touched by this one about the dreamcatcher.

I listened to the story but can’t say much about it because I fell asleep. Keke’s voice was perfect. This was the second time I listened to it with the same intended result. I don’t think it was supposed to be a story for storytelling but it was perfect for relaxation and sleep.

Nice story about Ojibwe dream catcher
This is a nice and interesting bedtime audio book about Ojibwe dream catcher. It is good to know about the Ojibwe people and their culture. I found it relaxing and it did help me drift into the sleep.
However, since I slept off without listening to full audio book, I replayed it in the day time to understand the story and felt that it could have included a bit more story and some more interesting details about Ojibwe people. Overall, I do like the audio book and will probably play it again someday as a part of my bedtime audio books.

I Wish There Were More Like This - So Relaxing!
This is the perfect bedtime story! I wish that there were more, even longer audiobooks to listen to like this one that feature Native American folklore or any culture's folklore in a peace-invoking and relaxing manner. Many books on folklore and mythology lean toward either the academic or horror/supernatural. Whereas I found this book to be so tranquil, better than most meditation books I listen to. The story of a young Ojibwe mother who brings her baby along with her for a walk into the forest and to do some basic daily chores sounds like a very simple premise, and it is, but that is what makes it so wonderful as a bedtime story. The details of the writing were fantastic.
My only complaint is that when requesting my Echo devices play this particular title, no matter how many different ways I pronounce "Ojibwe", my Alexa device keeps not understanding what I'm saying. It either tells me that "O. G. Bigwy" cannot be found but there are other titles by (insert some rap artist name), or it will simply say it cannot locate that title in my library. Even when I asked it to list my most recent titles, the Echo device pronounced it to me "Oh-jib-we" so I pronounced it exactly that way back to be played and it still could not locate it so I finally had to settle for listening to a different audiobook. This is not the fault of the writer or the narrator, but a fault within the Alexa pronunciation system, and the fact that many people do not know how to correctly pronounce "Ojibwe" without first listening to the story.
However, I can't recommend this book enough and I'm going to spend some time looking for something similar to this to relax to at night!
