This month, the Servant of All Team (SOAT), wanted to change it up. Here in this main topic thread, we invite our TVN community to share and learn about the massive contributions of Black women. We will also conduct a book read-along / discussion in a separate thread. Hopefully, we will all learn a bit more about each other and the giants that walk among us.
In this main February thread, we are going to maintain a list of Black Women success stories. (SOAT suggestions will be modern, but we invite you to share your favorite Black Woman success story, whomever and whenever they are in this thread.).
Also, we will be reading a book together this month. So go! Dust off those library cards and check out a copy of "How to be an Antiracist" by Ibram X. Kendi. Throughout the month, (starting 1 Feb), in the other separate thread, we will post discussion topics related to the book read-along. You can share comments and thoughts there in that other thread. On February 10th, 18th, and maybe another day or two, we will meet up on Discord and have a discussion about the book. From time to time (during the month) in that separate thread, we will post some additional thoughts to consider while reading the book AND we hope you will share with us some of your thoughts, experiences, insights about the book by posting responses in that separate thread.
Finally, at the very bottom of this first post (below our first Successful Black Woman), we have some great signatures and badges for you to show support for this celebration and read-along
