Show notes

Nicki Minaj still has the kind of starpower that can hijack a news cycle with a few tweets. Has she been using it to silence the voice of a woman her husband was arrested for assaulting?

You’ll hear from:

Dr. Jameta Barlow, community health psychologist and an assistant professor of writing at The George Washington University

Carmen Alvarez, the bookstagrammer behind the @tomesandtextiles Instagram page. She recommends “Gods of Jade and Shadow” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Donna Johnson, the bookstagrammer behind the @thisbrownegirlreads community andInstagram page. She recommends “Daughters of the Stone” by Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa.
