If you are looking for a good book club book during Black History Month, I suggest "The Stone Thrower" by Jael Richardson. In broad strokes, this is a story about Jael's dad, Chuck Ealy, who...
As a mother of young girls, this topic is near and dear to my heart. Growing up, I had three brothers. I always felt that I, as a girl, could do anything that they could do. All around me, I saw...
