Episode notes
In this episode, I share three books that shaped my life during critical moments:
- Succulent Wild Woman: Dancing with Your Wonder-Full Self by SARK
- Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment by Patricia Hill Collins
- Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh
Each of these books connects to core pillars of my life and leadership: creativity, critical thinking/a commitment to social justice, and mindfulness.
Have you read these books? Which books have shaped your life and reflect your values?
