I havenāt been able to put this book down. Itās been helping me internalize my experience as a black woman in America. Hereās one of my favorite quotes from Bell Hooks about Freedom: āSocial equality that grants all humans the opportunity to shape their destinies in the most healthy and communally productive way can only be a complete reality when our world is no longer racist or sexistāĀ
Read this in my Masters' Program & the practical + theoretical applications in tech forward spaces are extraordinarily important as the world continues to be more technologically focused.
this jacobin piece changed my perspective on how i think about work and a career.
it really breaks down the ādo what you loveā mindset and reframes work as a necessary act instead of something that should give you personal gratification.
would recommend this read to anyone, but especially people who maybe are attracted to academics or who define a lot of their worth in professional success and the idea that they are ādoing what you loveā!!
