They made a little noise

Stacey Abrams and the Fight to Vote by Traci Todd

Phenomenal AOC: The Roots and Rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by Anika Aldamuy Denise

June 17, 2022 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

I guess you could say these two women changed the political scene a smidgen. And these two picture books are going to cause a little stir in the reading world.   “Sometimes she would light the way. Sometimes her way would be lit by others…” Stacey Abrams is more than just a politician. She is a woman who fought for her place, fought to learn, and fought to help others. And this story comes to life in the picture book by Traci Todd, Stacey Abrams […]

July 6, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

I was on vacation last week and, as you can tell from the stack in the header, I read a LOT… Stonewall: The Definitive Story of the LGBT Rights Uprising that Changed America **** I wish this had focused more on the Uprising itself, as opposed to being a semi auto-biography on those who were involved in it. But it’s still a fascinating story at the nascent days of the LGBTQIA+ Movement, the challenges and complexities, and what emerged from it. A good gateway into learning […]

On November 16, 2018, I officially ended my bid to become the next governor of Georgia.

Lead from the Outside by Stacey Abrams

July 5, 2020 by vel veeter 1 Comment

CBR12 Bingo – How To So obviously Stacey Abrams got robbed. She mentions this pretty early on, and if you’re unaware, the idea that her opponent in the race for governor was also the presiding election official, in a state that is gerrymandered to hell, and suppresses the crap out of the Black vote is beyond satire in its ridiculousness. The additional fact the Kemp has allowed so many people to die from Covid through corruption and ineptitude (he’s clearly an almost travesty of a […]
