bipoc book talk @dai
Monthly(ish) book talk held at the DAI in Nürnberg.
read around the world: the americas
read around the world is a challenge to read from every country in the world. the author could be from that country or the book could be based there (kudos if both!). for me, i try to add in as many translated books and indigenous stories when possible.
note: while horrors such as war and colonization are unavoidbale in many stories due to how people are shaped by them, i try to find stories that do not always reflect suffering.
NatsBookClub - with Natalie Portman
A book club where storytelling is at it’s heart. To feel for characters in stories as we might for ourselves or our friends.
When not in Puerto Rico, read this
A combination of fiction and non-fiction reads that may or may not be classics, but the diaspora should have the pulse on.
