      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Three takeaways from Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Interview in Paris - Your ability to write, your ability to read, all stems from the process of sacrifice by the ancestors before you. It is a part of your lineage and heritage, and as a result, we must be responsible.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was one of the first ideas Ta-Nehisi Coates shared during his November 6th interview at MK2 Bibliothèque in Paris, France’s 13th Arrondissement. Coates was promoting his latest book, The Message, released in the U.S. on October 1, 2024, and recently translated into French. Following the discussion, attendees had the opportunity to purchase the French edition and have it signed. A diverse audience filled the theatre, eager to engage with the experiences, concerns, and concepts that shaped Coates’ text. He reflected on his own biases, the experience of having some of his books banned in parts of the U.S.—which he noted only increased their readership—and his profound disappointment regarding the international silence on the atrocities in Palestine, which he witnessed firsthand during his travels in the West Bank. As an educator, this discussion left me deeply motivated. Here are three key takeaways that highlight why The Message is both timely and transformative.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Antoine Leclerc-Mougne: Pioneering Inclusivity in Fashion Journalism - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Meet Antoine Leclerc-Mougne, the visionary editor-in-chief behind Mixte Magazine, where fashion meets progressivism in a harmonious blend. Pushing boundaries and breaking stereotypes, Mixte has been a beacon of inclusivity long before it became a trend in the fashion world. With an unwavering commitment to social issues, Antoine doesn't just curate fashion; he curates consciousness. Providing not just style, but substance, Mixte under his stewardship offers context, history, and a critical lens through which to view our world. Recently, Antoine graciously invited me to contribute an article shedding light on the situation of Abayas and muslim woman in France, illustrating how fashion intertwines with politics in ways we may not always recognize. And amidst his hectic schedule, Antoine finds solace and inspiration in the pages of thought-provoking literature.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Jean-Paul Paula and 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race' - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>I met JeanPaul Paula over two decades ago in the bustling world of fashion, where our shared passion for styling forged an instant connection. Our paths diverged and reunited over the years, and our friendship remained a constant witnessing each other's growth and accomplishments with a sense of pride. As a black woman navigating the fashion landscape in Paris, I've encountered my share of challenges, grappling with systemic barriers and stereotypes while striving to carve out my place in an industry often resistant to diversity and inclusion (God, I hate those word). Similarly, JeanPaul's journey has been marked by resilience and determination in confronting issues of race, identity and sexual orientation within his creative endeavors.   Jean Paul is a visionary artist whose work transcends boundaries, inviting viewers to engage with complex themes of identity, race, and societal structures. His ethos is rooted in fostering dialogue and introspection through his art, challenging conventional norms and advocating for awareness and understanding. In his own words, Jean Paul describes his work as a platform for connection and introspection, a space where individuals can dream and envision a more inclusive world. His passion lies in facilitating conversations that encourage people to think beyond their immediate surroundings, prompting them to confront uncomfortable truths and reimagine their place within society.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Anas Daif's Journey into Journalism - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Anas Daif, a French-Moroccan journalist and the creative mind behind the compelling podcast "À l’intersection," stands at the forefront of amplifying marginalized voices in France. His journey into journalism began during his studies at the École supérieure de journalisme de Lille, where he cultivated a passion for truth-telling and storytelling. It was during the challenging period of the COVID-19 lockdown in April 2020 that I first crossed paths with Anas on Clubhouse, the social audio app. Through our interactions, I came to admire his dedication to shedding light on the experiences of marginalized communities in France.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Sandie Dubois: A Personal Journey Through Fashion - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>I first crossed paths with Sandie over 15 years ago during my time as a stylist/journalist. Our encounter may have been during our tenure at Grazia, although memories from that period are somewhat hazy. Still, what stood out about Sandie was her expertise in fashion, culture, and music. She embodied the quintessential French beauty with her blonde locks, flawless skin, and a penchant for the occasional cigarette. With expertise and experience acquired in independent magazines such as Grazia, Stylist, Vanity Fair, Elle, Les Inrocks, Nylon USA and currently, she is author and director of episodes for "Gymnastique" (la Blogothèque) and "Le Dessous des Images" on Arte. She's a rare gem in my circle—a white woman who truly grasps the challenges faced by black women in both the fashion industry and the world at large. While the term "ally" has been tossed around lately, I've always felt, even if I've never explicitly said it, that she embodies true allyship. She's the only white woman I know who, if we were to grab coffee in our neighborhood, I wouldn't feel the need to adjust my speech or behavior to fit into societal norms.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“ Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization” by Anthony T. Browder I say this because this, when I read it in high school, was my very first awakening from American propaganda about black folks and how insidious it is. I grew up in an all back community and went to an all black school till 13 yrs old but we focused on watered down MLK and first African American doctors, inventors etc. This book gave me what I needed to begin to think more clearly and eventually study black history in college.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bayn Al-qasrayn by Naguib Mahfouz A political revolution and a moral revolution. We experience them from the quiet confines of a middle-class family in 19th century Cairo. The changes in the city eventually shake the heart of the home. The role of the women in the novel grows as the pages turn, and it's super exciting. It's a classic of Arabic literature, but it's still a super modern read.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - All the White Friends I Couldn’t Keep: Racial Awakening and Black Identity - BOOK REVIEW</image:title>
      <image:caption>"All the white Friends I couldn't keep" offers an unflinching exploration of racial dynamics, awakening readers to a reality that lies beyond the veil of societal facades. Andre Henry extends an invitation to readers to confront uncomfortable realities, recognise their own roles in perpetuating systemic racism, and engage in the transformative work of dismantling prejudice. Through a series of poignant reflections, the author reflects on his personal experiences and perspectives, revealing the complexity of racism and its pervasive impact on his life and relationships. Henry dismantles the myth that racism is solely due to ignorance, revealing the deeper structural and systemic roots that perpetuate inequality. It tackles the inertia that often prevents white people from actively engaging in the fight against racial injustice, and exposes the reluctance to give up privilege and embrace change, forcing readers to confront uncomfortable truths about their own complicity in the status quo.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Amber J. Phillips: Celebrating Black Life Through a Queer’s Lens - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>I personally discovered Amber through social media, and her unique perspective on black life and experiences immediately captivated me. Her refreshing look at the world, as seen through the lens of a queer fat black woman, is not only hilarious but deeply enriching.  Amber's ability to infuse humor into her observations on the state of the world highlights the absurdities and complexities of our society, while offering insightful and thought-provoking commentary compelled me to click on the "follow" button.  Amber's online presence is marked by unflinching authenticity and vibrant storytelling, her voice and perspective provide a much-needed breath of fresh air in a world that often fails to understand and appreciate the intersectional experiences of black queer people. In 2021, Amber released her first short film, "Abundance", a thought-provoking exploration of identity and the limitless possibilities it holds. This captivating work explores the limits imposed on individuals and reveals the radical potential that emerges when these constraints are broken. "Abundance" was critically acclaimed and selected for the prestigious BlackStar Film Festival 2021, where it won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Short.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Soraya Hamdan: inspiring lifelong learning and interdisciplinary connections - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>I'm delighted to introduce Soraya, a dear friend of mine whom I had the pleasure of meeting during the difficult period of the COVID-19 pandemic on clubhouse (that app again lol). Our relationship blossomed through conversations centered on women of color, feminism and literature, but it was our shared hatred of men that truly ignited our friendship . Soraya's adulthood has been shaped outside France, which has helped her not only to open up to self-acceptance, but also to understand racial discrimination and inequality around the world. She proudly identifies herself as half-Lebanese and half-Moroccan, and has navigated the complexities of a dual cultural heritage with grace. she has highlighted the difficulties of being an Arab with two distinct cultures, emphasing that Arab identity is far from a monolith. Beyond her cultural knowledge, Soraya fearlessly tackled the societal challenges facing women. Her sharp mind and diverse expertise have always fascinated me. She possesses a wealth of knowledge on a wide range of subjects, and her insights are both thought-provoking and enlightening. Whether we delve into discussions about literature, social issues, fashion or any other topic, Soraya's intelligence and perspective never fail to impress.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Rose Touré: curating Black spaces through feminist theory in Amsterdam - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>I had the privilege of meeting Rose, a curator, cultural producer, and visual artist who recently moved from Brooklyn to Amsterdam. After a background in media and production, she moved into the arts and cultural sector, where Rose developed a keen interest and skill in curating black spaces influenced by black feminist theory. Rose recognizes that historically, Black women have been marginalized and subjected to discrimination and oppression, and she is committed to providing a nurturing environment where they can express themselves freely, share their stories, and connect with like-minded individuals. She finds inspiration in the everyday experiences of Black women, such as mothers, grandmothers, and aunts, by acknowledging their invaluable lessons of ingenuity, creativity, and challenge. Her calling is rooted in a deep understanding of the unique challenges and experiences Black women face in society.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Having had the privilege of meeting Dani Bumba on several occasions through mutual friends, I always knew he possessed a remarkable talent as a singer. However, it wasn't until his EP "L'Amour" that I took the time to truly delve into his music. "L'Amour" is more than just an album; it is a therapeutic project that serves as an invitation to men to openly express their emotions, embrace vulnerability, and break free from the confines of cultural norms and gender stereotypes. As a lover of words and sounds, Dani Bumba effortlessly weaves together his skills as both a musician and a poet. Hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), he brings forth a unique blend of French variety, American soul, and Congolese music in his compositions. Coming from a family of artists, Dani Bumba's artistic universe is infused with a distinct essence, reflecting his heritage and personal experiences.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Introducing Zhedy, an incredibly talented and versatile creative strategist who is a valuable member of the Air Afrique collective. Zhedy invited me to a presentation of Air Afrique at Soho House, a presentation that turn out to be the starting point of our relationship. From the very beginning of the presentation, it was clear that Zhedy brought a unique perspective and approach to creative strategy. Born in Douala, Cameroon and raised in the Paris region, Zhedy is an introverted Afro-Parisian with a unique set of skills. She is a bilingual creative strategist whose passion for African culture and storytelling is reflected in her work. She navigates with ease between the creative conceptual phase and the more logical stage of business strategy, helping to add value to the collective led by Lamine Diaoune. Air Afrique operated as a Pan-African airline between 1961 and 2002, aiming to become the official transnational carrier for francophone West and Central Africa. During this period, the airline was mostly owned by different West African nations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Roxane Mbanga: A deep dive into her creative endeavors - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a Caribbean, the issue of blackness in France has always resonated with me. The complex history of colonialism and slavery has left deep scars on our region, and we have had to grapple with the legacy of systemic racism and oppression. As we navigate these challenges, I have often felt that the experiences of Black people in France are not widely understood, acknowledged or even recognized. The lack of representation and visibility of Black French voices has left a void in the discourse on Afro-diasporic identity. For this reason I was immediately intrigued and moved by Roxane Mbanga Mbanga's NOIRE.S, a personal and political diary that gives voice to Black French women of today through the lens of intersectionality. In this book, Roxane offers a powerful testimony of the lived experiences of Black women in France, exploring the intersections of race, gender, class, and other forms of oppression.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Black Book Reviews of Black Literature and Cinema - Sophie Douala: How Literature Shapes a Berlin-Based Graphic Designer's Creative Process - THE READERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>I recently had the pleasure of discovering the work of Sophie Douala, a graphic designer based in Berlin. Originally from Cameroon and raised in France, Sophie's art is a beautiful reflection of her cultural and social background. I discover her works while visiting Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and was struck by her exhibition called "Follow The Black Rabbit" where she examines the impact of current social and political events on our collective consciousness. The exhibition features a series of immersive wall prints and videos that creates a dreamy Alice Wonderland world that is both joyful and melancholic. With her striking visual imagery, Sophie's art captures the complexities of our world and the struggles we face. I'm excited to have the opportunity to speak with her and learn more about her creative process and inspiration.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I FIRST MET AISSÉ ON CLUBHOUSE, THIS APP THAT NATURALLY MADE ALL OF US FEEL LESS ALONE DURING COVID WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE MOST TOXIC APP IN THE WORLD BECAUSE OF GROUP DYNAMICS AND LACK OF MODERATION. I USED TO HOST ROOMS THAT WERE INTIMATELY RELATED TO BLACK WOMEN EXPERIENCES IN COLLABORATIVE WORKSPACES AS WELL AS IN THE DATING WORLD THAT ALSO INCLUDE NAVIGATING MICRO-AGGRESSIONS AND HISTORICAL DISCRIMINATION. AISSÉ CAME TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATION AND WE HAVE NEVER STOPPED TALKING SINCE THEN. AN ON-GOING CONVERSATION ABOUT THE STATE OF THIS WORLD, ITS ANTI-BLACKNESS AND OUR PASSION FOR BLACK LITERATURE, ART and cinema. I WAS ( STILL) INSPIRED BY HER CAPACITY TO EXPRESS HERSELF CLEARLY, PERSUASIVELY AND EFFECTIVELY. SHE POSSESSES THAT ELOQUENCE, THAT AFRICAN ELOQUENCE , THE ELOQUENCE OF A WRITER. HER GRACE INVOLVES NOT ONLY HER CHOICE OF WORDS, BUT ALSO HER DELIVERY, HER TONE, HER INFLECTION.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“WE ARE AT WAR AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON. MINE IS LITERATURE." KIDDY'S WEAPONS ARE THE ART OF DANCING AND SINGING. HE AND I GO WAY BACK, EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT CLOSE FRIENDS, WE HAVE ALWAYS FOLLOWED OUR RESPECTIVE CAREERS AND STILL TRY TO SEE EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHEN OUR PATHS CROSS. IT STILL FEELS ODD TO CALL HIM KIDDY, BY THE WAY. I MET HIM IN THE DANCE SCENE WHERE WE WERE BOTH DANCERS. THEN HE BECAME A DJ AND A SINGER. HIS MUSICAL CAREER BLEW UP AFTER HE HAD MET BETH DITTO AT A JEREMY SCOTT FASHION SHOW, BETH LATER INVITED HIM TO SHARE THE STAGE AT COACHELLA AND THE REST IS HISTORY. YOU PROBABLY KNOW HIM FOR HIS PARTICIPATION ON JUNE 21, 2018 AT THE FÊTE DE LA MUSIQUE IN OUR PRESIDENTIAL COURTYARD, WEARING A T-SHIRT WITH THE WORDS "BLACK, F*** AND SON OF MIGRANTS" WHICH CAUSED CONTROVERSY IN FRENCH POLITICAL CIRCLES BUT ALSO IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>WE FIRST MET ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO IN ITALY; I WAS INTERVIEWING NAOMI FOR A DIFFERENT PROJECT THAT WILL ONLY MATERIALIZE THIS YEAR LOL. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HER ON INSTAGRAM AND I HAVE ADMIRED HER SENSE OF STYLE, HER EFFORTLESS FRESHNESS, SOMETHING I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE, ESPECIALLY FROM AN ITALIAN WOMAN. CAUSE YES, IN MY IMAGINATION, ITALIAN WOMEN ARE OVERDRESSED, HEAD-TO-TOE IN ITALIAN DESIGNERS, THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE FOR NAOMI, SHE HAS AN UNPREDICTABLE STYLE THAT IS A BIG PART OF HER APPEAL. FOLLOWED HER ADVENTURES WHEN SHE MOVED TO DUBAI, WHERE SHE WAS ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY THE COOLEST PEOPLE WORKING ON THE COOLEST PROJECTS. I DON'T KNOW WHY I OVERUSE THAT TERM SO MUCH TO DESCRIBE HER, BUT IT'S BECAUSE NAOMI IS COOLER THAN THE COOLEST OF YOUR GIRLFRIENDS.</image:caption>

This book will reshape how we see health and medicine - forever.</image:caption>

In 2016, Mariam Khan read that David Cameron had linked the radicalization of Muslim men to the ‘traditional submissiveness’ of Muslim women.

Why was she hearing about Muslim women from people who were neither Muslim, nor female?</image:caption>

Behind the scenes it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Or be told that, as an actress, the part you’re most fitted to play is ‘wife of a terrorist’? How does it feel to have words from your native language misused, misappropriated and used aggressively towards you? How does it feel to hear a child of colour say in a classroom that stories can only be about white people? How does it feel to go ‘home’ to India when your home is really London? What is it like to feel you always have to be an ambassador for your race? How does it feel to always tick ‘Other’?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A dazzling new novel of friendship, identity and the unknowability of other people - from the international bestselling author of Home Fire, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction Fourteen-year-old Maryam and Zahra have always been the best of friends, despite their different backgrounds. Maryam takes for granted that she will stay in Karachi and inherit the family business; while Zahra keeps her desires secret, and dreams of escaping abroad. This year, 1988, anything seems possible for the girls; and for Pakistan, emerging from the darkness of dictatorship into a bright future under another young woman, Benazir Bhutto.</image:caption>

The daughter of Chinese parents who came to the United States to secure the American dream for their children, Joan is intensely devoted to her work, happily solitary, successful.

Their parents and four younger siblings make the crossing in another vessel but as weeks go by it becomes clear that only one party has survived the voyage. Anh, Thanh and Minh suddenly find themselves alone in the world, without family or home. They travel on, navigating refugee camps and resettlement centres until, by a twist of fate, they arrive in Thatcher’s Britain. Here they must somehow build new lives with only each other to turn to, but will that be enough in a place that doesn’t seem to want them?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Come of age in the credit crunch. Be civil in a hostile environment. Step out into a world of Go Home vans. Go to Oxbridge, get an education, start a career. Do all the right things. Buy a flat. Buy art. Buy a sort of happiness. But above all, keep your head down. Keep quiet. And keep going. The narrator of Assembly is a Black British woman. She is preparing to attend a lavish garden party at her boyfriend's family estate, set deep in the English countryside. At the same time, she is considering the carefully assembled pieces of herself. As the minutes tick down and the future beckons, she can't escape the question: is it time to take it all apart? Assembly is a story about the stories we live within - those of race and class, safety and freedom, winners and losers. And it is about one woman daring to take control of her own story, even at the cost of her life.</image:caption>

It shows that the great industrial boom of the nineteenth century was built on American slavery, and that black Britons fought at Trafalgar and in the trenches of both World Wars. Black British history is woven into the cultural and economic histories of the nation. It is not a singular history, but one that belongs to us all.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments by Saidiya Hartman Saidiya Hartman's "Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments" delves into the transformative upheaval of black intimate life in Philadelphia and New York during the early 1900s. The book explores a spectrum of unconventional practices such as free love, common-law and transient marriages, serial partnerships, cohabitation outside of wedlock, queer relationships, and single motherhood. These shifts reshaped the fabric of everyday existence and challenged entrenched Victorian norms regarding courtship, love, and marriage. Hartman skillfully narrates this tale of social revolution, offering a fresh perspective that diverges from the longstanding discourse on the perceived crisis of the black family spanning over a century.</image:caption>
