Black History Month - Day 10 Book Recommendation: Daughters of the Dust by Julie Dash

This book is the sequel to her award winning movie by the same name. The movie is one of my favorites & I’ve seen it over 20 times. She delves into African traditions that were brought to the US and kept alive during and after our enslavement. I was also blessed to take a Master class with Julie Dash. This book explores and extends the story of strong, proud, independent Black women. Julie is a master storyteller & she captures all the nuances & cultural traditions of African people and the power of those traditions to be transferred throughout generations.
