Lindsay Clancy’s Mistrial and “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This heavily banned book, written over 100 years ago, has it all: Hurricanes, strong women, all-white juries, but more importantly, and the focal point of this episode…Motherhood, mental health, and misogyny.Courtney gives Jen a basic synopsis of Hurston’s highly-acclaimed historical fiction set in 1920s Florida, (no major spoilers…go read it for yourself!) and relates its events to today’s, like the well-known Lindsay Clancy trial, but also eerily similar but lesser-known trials of Black women

Read excerpt
The summer season is HARD for working moms…with kids not being in school, our ducks are not in ANY rows. 🦆 But…somehow the stars ✨ aligned and we were able to cobble together 39 minutes to rave about the Stonewall Honor Book: Like a Love Story by Abdi Nazemian…This poignant revisitation of the AIDS Crisisis is exactly the type of book that would be marked as 🚨off-limits🚨 for purchasing by public schools across the nation if Book Ban Bill S. 4925 passes the House.
