Hey there, Team LITeratti and welcome to SEASON SIX of LIT Society!!! ("noises of celebration")
We're so happy to be back with you and discussing AMAZING books and stories. We begin this episode by catching up and letting you all know what we've been doing with our time away (00:00). Then we discuss "Who is Haile Selassie?"—our theme of the week (07:00). We give a brief overview of the author (11:58). Then we begin a deep dive and discussion into How to Say Babylon, the celebrated memoir by Safiya Sinclair (20:50).
Under the thumb of a strict Rastafarian upbringing, a young girl carves a path to freedom through resilience and the power of poetry.
The girl: Safiya Sinclair
The book: How to Say Babylon
