| The Well-Read Black Girl with Glory Edim podcast is the literary kickback you never knew you needed. Each week, Glory sits with authors like Tarana Burke, Min Jin Lee, Anita Hill, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Brit Bennett, Jacqueline Woodson and more for insightful conversation on art, culture, social justice, and the power of the written word. You’ll also meet Well-Read Black Girl community members, literacy advocates, and Black booksellers to hear what they’re reading and what it means to be well-read. Tune in, turn the page, and join the celebration. |
