I sat down with @ChristinaMarie19 and @FrancinaSimone to discuss race on Booktube. I’m lucky to have such brilliant friends who had such an interesting discussion with me to share with all of you!

Books mentioned:
I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown bookshop.org/a/965/9781524760854
Obviously: Stories from My Timeline by Akilah Hughes bookshop.org/a/965/9781101998908
A note on the editing: Sadly Francina’s video cut out for the middle portion so I had to patch together a few solutions. I was also very nervous about my camera cutting out or not recording everyone’s audio so apologies for being very fidgety throughout the video and constantly checking on my cameras (you can see me trying to fix when Francina disappears, haha!)! Not only did this conversation teach me a lot about race on booktube but it also taught me a lot about recording and editing a video call! Yikes!
