“When you’re grown from gunpowder, you have no choice, but to be the bomb.”
From Reading this book Other Books that come to mind: Her Stories & The People Could Fly by Virginia Hamilton
African Folktales
What makes this memoir different from others is that Mouton makes the statement Black women can be fierce, sexy, poetic, and able to put monsters in their place.
There are no bounds to Mouton's ability to craft the black woman into an everyday superhero.
I have always believed that the black women in my life have always been magical. From Family to Friends, we have a way of creating magic, and we don’t even realize it.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
5.0
I would have to say that not only are stories like these relevant, but they are appropriate for our current atmosphere. At first, I was going to read this book next year, but when I found out the movie was hitting theaters I had to take a chance of reading the book first and I am so glad I did.
