Book Review: Black Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America (edited by Ibi Zoboi)

First - let me say that today was an amazing day - April 10, 2021 and it was lovely, sunny, and warm. Lot of dog walks and some time to read - which is a good combination for an anthology. I need some time between each story to absorb its truth.

So about this specific book...

This is an amazing group of authors.
The stories are varied and all are good.
This is a fabulous way to try out the writing of different authors to see who you like.

The best way to share what this book is about it to share Ibi Zoboi's words, "What are the cultural threads that connect Black people all over the world to Africa? How have we tried to maintain certain traditions as part of our identity? And as teenagers, do we even care? These are the questions I had in mind when inviting sixteen other Black authors to write about teens examining, rebelling against, embracing or simply exsisting within their own idea of Blackness."

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. (And it is always nice to have a reading partner.)
