By Women, for the World Five inspiring stories to read this month. By Brenda Melara March is here, which means it is officially Women’s History Month! Take this special occasion to celebrate some of the greatest female narratives and reflect on why this month is so special.
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas Starr is a girl constantly divided by her two lives. On one hand, her and her black family face racism, poverty and brutality and on the other, she is a private school student with white friends and a white boyfriend who are insensible to the issues that she faces day to day. However, when she witnesses her best friend die at the hands of a police officer, she is forced to take a stand and unite her two worlds to support a powerful message. This is the story of a young girl that teaches us everyone can make a difference.
Tinaca Jones by Matt Boren For those who cannot sit down for hours to read a book, I recommend the new Audible Original, “Tinaca Jones.” This is an epic and hilarious detective story of a determined and confident woman who will not stop until she catches the person who has stolen her name. Will she make it? Enjoy this refreshing and funny comedy narrated by “Parks and Recreation” and “Good Girls” star Retta, who gives strength to the character of Tinaca Jones.
