The art we encounter shapes how we see the world. If you’re an artist of color or a person speaking from an unrepresented perspective, we especially need your voice.

And if you don’t regularly read books or experience art from perspectives outside your own, consider taking this new step. 

During this time, I’m sharing some of my most beloved novels by Black authors.

Day 2: Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (@YaaGyasiAuthor)

I love the way Homegoing interweaves the story of half-sisters (one sold into slavery, one married to the local British governor) and their descendants.
