SISTERS OF THE YAM Black Women and Self-Recovery, 2nd Edition

Adenrele Ojo performs bell hooks's modern classic, bringing it to audio for the first time. Hooks writes about how Black women's well-being is still deeply impacted by sexism, racism, and homophobia. To better themselves and their communities, Black women should focus on self-recovery--nurturing their sense of self by taking care of their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Ojo's narration captures the passion of hooks's words and the deep love that she has for Black communities, especially Black women. With her performance, Ojo matches hooks's intensity, creating an impactful listening experience. Ojo's performance invites listeners to learn from one of the great minds of our time.
