Book of the Week – Our Kind of People

Hey Ladies, Here is your Book of the Week. “Our Kind of People by Otis Graham.
The reason I chose this book is that it changed my perspective on a few things. It gets into the world of the African American social elite. Graham gets into the good, the bad, and the ugly by interviewing members of some of the most prominent black families in America. As a young person in the hood, I could appreciate reading about a different type of black people. For many of us, this is the case. We do not believe black people in America can be anything besides low hanging fruit or uncle toms – socially. Here is a look into an elite system we created for ourselves. Although there are some cringe-worthy moments I challenge you to see inside yourself and pull out what dreams you may have for yourself and your family.
I would love to have a conversation on this. Let me know your thoughts.
