Historia
The resurgence of viral clips from the long-running hit reality television show America’s Next Top Model left fans and foes alike wondering–how did a show so outrageous and at times offensive ever get on the air? For years, Americans dutifully watched as contestants faced uncomfortable situations regarding their race and gender, body-shaming, stereotyping, and problematic photoshoots. The show, which first premiered in 2003 and ran for 24 cycles, was helmed by supermodel Tyra Banks–the first Black female host of a smash network reality show.

This is was a fun, thought provoking listen. I’m a fan of ANTM and also felt the collective OMG what was watching and supporting. I do like the balanced review and discussion with many of the shows former cast members. Highly recommend.

Insightful cautionary tale
Revisado: 11-05-23
I’ve read this book twice and remain fascinated at this account of the 1996 Everest disaster. What drives men to attain glory by scaling the highest peak, what sacrifices they make to get there, and the whole industry. I felt like I was there in then biting cold on the mountain, and I love the authors self awareness and the narrator’s skill. Highly recommend.

Remember when we hit it off so well that we decided we’re going to need more wine? Well, this time you and I are going to turn to our friend the bartender and ask, you got anything stronger? I promise to continue to make you laugh, but with this round, the stakes get higher as the conversation goes deeper.

For Baba Segi, his collection of wives and gaggle of children are a symbol of prosperity, success, and a validation of his manhood.

Jealous and resentful of this interloper who is stealing their husband’s attention, Baba’s three wives begin to plan her downfall. How dare she not know her place, they whisper. How dare she offer to teach them to read. They will teach her instead, they vow, and open their husband's eyes to this wicked wind.

I have read this wonderful book every year since 2012. I was so excited to learn that the audiobook was going to be out in January, and waited for months with bated breath. I am so happy that the author read the book herself, because she does it with such finesse, humor and confidence.
If you want a story that touches you and turns you inside out, a story that brilliantly captures Nigerian life in certain circles, then this is the book to get.

Historia
When Zikora, a DC lawyer from Nigeria, tells her equally high-powered lover that she’s pregnant, he abandons her. But it’s Zikora’s demanding, self-possessed mother, in town for the birth, who makes Zikora feel like a lonely little girl all over again. Stunned by the speed with which her ideal life fell apart, she turns to reflecting on her mother’s painful past and struggle for dignity. Preparing for motherhood, Zikora begins to see more clearly what her own mother wants for her, for her new baby, and for herself.

I have read all Chimamanda’s books and was so excited to get Zikora. I love how she can capture layered history in a short story. I love how she makes you rethink your own mistakes and assumptions.
This books comes highly recommended. I only wished it went on for longer. I’ll be thinking about the characters for some time to come, the same way I feel like Ifemelu from Americanah is somewhere out there living her life. I would love a part two.

Historia
As a minority in a predominantly white institution, taking up space is an act of resistance. And in higher education, feeling like you constantly have to justify your existence within institutions that weren't made for you is an ongoing struggle for many people. Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi, two recent Cambridge graduates, wrote Taking Up Space as a guide and a manifesto for change: tackling issues of access, unrepresentative curricula, discrimination in the classroom, the problems of activism and life before and after university.

I haven’t even finished this book but I already love it. This is the book I needed when I was in university in the UK. This is a book I need now as I work in a place where I am a minority. Proud of the authors. Can’t wait to read more. I love the narration as well.

Historia
Supermodel and super CEO of our time Tyra Banks and her mother Carolyn show readers why when you kick perfection to the curb and showcase your unique beauty ain't nobody gonna stop you! In Perfect Is Boring, Tyra Banks and her mother, Carolyn, get raw, real, and cray-in-a-good-way as they share what they’ve learned on Tyra’s journey from insecure preteen to supermodel and entrepreneurial powerhouse. Though she’ll be the first to tell you she is not her daughter’s best friend - 'cause she ain't that kinda mama! - there’s no doubt that Carolyn’s signature mix of pep talks and tough love got Tyra to where she is today.
