I had the privilege of interviewing Marlena Graves along with Dennis Edwards on another subject a few weeks ago. Today Marlena is launching her latest book: The Way Up is Down. Get this book! She is a fresh, powerful voice needed in this generation.
I WILL BE GIVING AWAY ONE COPY OF HER BOOK. HERE ARE THE RULES:
- Share this post on your social media accounts.
- Leave a comment on this post (NOT my social media accounts… THIS POST!) Answer this question: What is the last book you read from a person of color and when?
- I will draw randomly from the posts if I get at least 5 people involved.

Does reading the church fathers count? I love the desert fathers, who were all people of color.
Other than them, Austin Channing Brown’s “I’m still here.”
I’m currently reading Resmaa Menake’s book My Grandmother’s Hands
