    An Ode to black girls with magical imaginations
  

*by L***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2020*

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while now, so when my library finally got an ebook copy of it I jumped on it immediately. Well-Read Black Girl achieves what it’s title implies. I wanted to read this anthology because I too can relate to growing and reading books in which I didn’t see myself. The stories I was reading did not feature young black women as MCs. This is something I noticed but I didn’t question it deeply at the time. I think part of the reason was because I wanted to keep up with my friends. I wanted to read what my friends were reading and that was mostly books with white protagonists. While I appreciate series like the Hunger Games and Divergent for being cultural zeitgeists, I didn’t see myself reflected. I could identify with many of the stories in this anthology because many of the contributors had similar experiences.Something I found interesting was the overlap in the authors that the contributors were reading. Rightfully so, authors such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Paule Marshall, Zora Neale Hurston, and James Baldwin were a part of many of the contributors’ identity formation. It’s so interesting how we turn to the same literary “titans” on our journey to see our blackness positively reflected. These are so instrumental in our self-concept and our community because it some point they have helped usher us into black culture. In high school I read The Bluest Eye, and shamefully I didn’t have to range to fully understand the nuance of what it was trying to tell me. It’s one book I’ll have to re-read to experience it differently.The stories that I enjoyed the most (off the top of my head) were Jesmyn Ward’s, NK Jemison’s, Renée Watson’s, and there are others but I can’t remember them. This anthology left me thinking about what can I do to contribute to our culture, our community? How can I honor those who came before us and did the work to get us where we are now? These are questions if going to continue grappling with and trying to fulfill. This the stories in this anthology filled me with comfort and validation. I felt seen and it was reassuring that others have experienced what I have. I wish I had a book like this when I was in high school. It would have really changed my perspective of things a lot sooner. While not every story was especially captivating, I appreciate all of the contributors for the work that they’ve done to create opportunities and spaces for younger generations. I would recommend this book, especially for black young people, because it could make all the difference in making them feel seen.

    "It’s difficult to be a reader, and not be a writer."

I've read, so here's my writing part ...Rating: 4.5 stars/5 starsI don't know what took me so long to get and read Well-Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves by Glory Edim. This book is a compilation of essays written by some of the most prominent and prolific African American female authors. From the moment I read the introduction by editor Glory Edim, who founded the Well-Read Black Girl national book club, I felt like I'd come home.I'd like to think of myself as a well-read Black girl. I have always read. Now that I am post-graduate and post-teaching, most of my free time is just that - mine. So, I read a book about every 7-9 days. I participate in book clubs. The knowledge gained from reading is invaluable. The escape from reality when engaged in a fictional story is cheaper than any vacation (not that I'm opposed to taking a vacation). Reading is, simply, magical. I am a voracious reader, consuming any and all forms of books, magazines, poems, essays, etc. So, when I first heard about Well-Read Black Girl and its founding book club, I knew I wanted to read it. It wasn't until nearly a year after its publication that I was able to snag a copy from Amazon - on sale no less! While I may have been a little late to the party, I am very glad I invested in my own copy (rather than borrowing from the Library, although I strongly advocate supporting one's local Library) because I know I will revisit this jewel again in the future and re-read some of the essays.This book was written by Black women for Black women, but that is not to say that others could not benefit from it. It is empowering. The prose is beautiful. The stories are heartfelt, and the talent is bursting off the pages and out of the spine of this collective masterpiece. As you might guess some stories resonated with me more than others, but overall I am so thankful for this body of work that has provided representation for a little well-read Black girl like me, and hopefully, for a whole new generation of readers (and writers) to come!Recommendation:  Readers write and writers read. If you identify as either, this book is for you. It is targeted to the titular demographic, but wisdom can be gained by any reader. Don't delay like I did, pick up a copy today!Until next time ... Read on!Regardless of whether I purchase a book, borrow a book, or am gifted one, my ultimate goal is to be honest, fair, and constructive. I hope you've found this review helpful.
