Second book written by a lawyer in a row - I suspect lawyers make excellent storytellers. I absolutely loved reading this collection by Harriet Mcbryde Johnson - she is VERY funny. I laughed out loud multiple times and could almost hear how these tales would sound in her Carolina accent. As well as being charming and funny, Johnson drops some mind-stopping wisdom bombs, like: “When bigotry is the dominant view, it sounds like self-evident truth.” FIVE STARS! This will likely make my annual Best Books blog at the end of the Gregorian year.

Finished reading “Just Mercy” by Brian Stevenson over the weekend. I’d seen the movie and know full well how effed up and rooted in racism and classism the so-called-“justice” system is, but still, this was hard to read. This was one of those books that radicalises a person. If I wasn’t already an abolitionist, reading this would have tipped me over. The system was built to benefit the wealthy, the white, the abled. We need a new system.

Image description: me in a green Tara t-shirt holding a copy of “Black & Buddhist” So excited to read this anthology edited by Cheryl Giles and faculty/cohort member in my chaplaincy training, Ayo Yetunde. This is on my list for January reads, for sure, and already influencing me as it’s one of many anthologies that have motivated me to start the Disability Dharma anthology project. #2021ReadingList #DharmaNerd #BookNerd #SecretLibrarian #RepresentationMatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CI31d_NBjnv/?igshid=ojps8uhiw2md
