Episode X: "Eye to Eye: Black Women, Hatred, and the Use of Anger"

Join Your Favorite Librarian and special quest, Ashley Meadows, for Episode 10: "Eye to Eye: Black Women, Hatred, and the Use of Anger."  This episode is a nod to Audre Lorde and an exploration of the Uses of Anger. 

This week's episode reading list include the following:

“Sister Outsider” by Audre Lorde
“Honeypot: Black Southern Women Who Love Women” by E. Patrick Johnson
“Bone Black” by Bell Hooks
“Dear Ijeawela, or a Feminist Menifesto in Fifteen Suggestions” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Throughout this episode, the pair discuss the burden of strength, cultivating well-being and care among Black girls, softness and the queer spectrum, and using anger as motivation. Discussants also explore systemic attempts to police the Black body, gender and race-based emotion stereotypes, and the "reserve of anger."
