NOMINATED FOR AN NAACP IMAGE AWARD - An inspiring collection of essays by black women writers, curated by the founder of the popular book club Well-Read Black Girl, on the importance of recognizing ourselves in literature."Yes, Well-Read Black Girl is as good as it sounds. . . . Glory Edim] gathers an all-star cast of contributors--among them Lynn Nottage, Jesmyn Ward, and Gabourey Sidibe."--O: The Oprah Magazine
Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you? That feeling of belonging remains with readers the rest of their lives--but not everyone regularly sees themselves in the pages of a book. In this timely anthology, Glory Edim brings together original essays by some of our best black women writers to shine a light on how important it is that we all--regardless of gender, race, religion, or ability--have the opportunity to find ourselves in literature. Contributors include Jesmyn Ward (Sing, Unburied, Sing), Lynn Nottage (Sweat), Jacqueline Woodson (Another Brooklyn), Gabourey Sidibe (This Is Just My Face), Morgan Jerkins (This Will Be My Undoing), Tayari Jones (An American Marriage), Rebecca Walker (Black, White and Jewish), and Barbara Smith (Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology) Whether it's learning about the complexities of femalehood from Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison, finding a new type of love in The Color Purple, or using mythology to craft an alternative black future, the subjects of each essay remind us why we turn to books in times of both struggle and relaxation. As she has done with her book club-turned-online community Well-Read Black Girl, in this anthology Glory Edim has created a space in which black women's writing and knowledge and life experiences are lifted up, to be shared with all readers who value the power of a story to help us understand the world and ourselves.
Praise for Well-Read Black Girl "Each essay can be read as a dispatch from the vast and wonderfully complex location that is black girlhood and womanhood. . . . They present literary encounters that may at times seem private and ordinary--hours spent in the children's section of a public library or in a college classroom--but are no less monumental in their impact."--The Washington Post "A wonderful collection of essays."--Essence

Works well
Size: 6.5 FT, Color: Black
This thing was a life saver. It has plenty of plug ports for the price and it's not huge. The footprint is a bit bigger than some others but it's not bulky. Seems well built and the fact that I can power all my electronics and still have the USB ports to charge my phone and things is nice.

Good quality surge protector.
Size: 6.5 FT, Color: Black
It's great to have a search protector that has this much versatility. One of the spots that this is mostly needed is around the TV area. With the need to plug in TVs, DVD players, surround sound theater system equipment, Xbox and PS5's, wifi router etc. This thing has more than enough plug spaces then you can throw it at a single time. The east of having all these connecting ports available in one compact place is a big win. It also eliminates running unnecessary wires being that old the plugs you need to plug in will have it available socket. This search protector also has a very premium feel due to quality materials.
Another great feature that it has is that you can hang it or drill it to a wall due in large part to its available pre drilled holes.
Also the way that the sockets are aligned are perfect to plug different types of plugs with enough space in between. There is enough separation to make different types of plugs fit snuggly.
