Still Alice
My mom was diagnosed with dementia when I started to read "Still Alice," an impeccable writer. Lisa Genova and her story helped me know that even when diagnosed with an illness, they may not remember things, even their name, but there are ways of living life to the fullest.

If I Started A Book Club For Black Men
For the last three years, I’ve been in a book club orchestrated by my girlfriend. As the lone man in a book club with only Black women, it has been a powerful journey. Often I find myself just listening and absorbing all of the knowledge that surrounds me. It’s beautiful to be welcomed in a vulnerable space. Other times I’m looking around and asking myself, “WHERE ARE THE BLACK MEN?!” If I’m being honest, I feel more comfortable in a room full of women than with men (I’ll figure this out with my therapist in the future), but I do think some great positivity could come from a group full of Black men reading together. So, I took myself on a journey all alone, and put together a group of books I think would be great for my own book club.

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
I still remember the day I got the dark circles around my eyes. I don’t know how it came into my possession, but I had a torch. One night when my dad said it was time to close my latest Goosebumps and turn the light off, I did as he said. Then, listening carefully until I was sure he was at the bottom of the stairs, I picked up my book again, pulled the torch out from under my pillow and carried on reading.

King Lear
King Lear was the very first piece of classical English literature that I ever studied. The play is cited as one of the Bard's supreme achievements and is considered one of the greatest works of literature ever written. And despite Shakespeare's use of a very unfamiliar Elizabethan English, I loved every page of the play.
