About this listen
Summer is under way and we hope you're remembering to take deep breaths as our children are running around the home. We had to take a short break but we hope you enjoyed our previous episodes that we RE-introduced to ya’ll.
We've been excited to share this episode because we're doing our first-ever giveaway. We’re giving away a book and it’s not just any book, it’s one of the banned books in the state of Florida: Amanda Gorman’s “The Hill We Climb”. Amanda made history as the youngest Poet Laureate to recite her poem at President Joe Biden’s Inauguration. We go into why restricting access to a book about hope and unity is absurd and why we chose it as our first-ever giveaway on our show. Brandy shares how doing a book report about Malcolm X was inspiring and gives a shout our to her 8th grade teacher, Ms. Brinsko for not banning not only a controversial book but a controversial public figure. Perhaps most teachers knows best in the classroom.
Happy Listening!
