So during this time of uncertainty and public panic we’ve been requested to socially distance ourselves. However, that gives us all the more reason to spend quality time with loved ones, finish that book you’ve been putting down for later, re-connect with our children and explore the people they’re becoming. It’s a time to show compassion to those most vulnerable to the virus and those less fortunate than ourselves.

So over the next couple of weeks, we will be recommending amazing books you can engross yourself in, and as usual we’ll start with the little ones…….

The first book we recommend was released by African Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o last year called: Sulwe. It’s a beautiful tale that inspires children to see their own unique beauty. It’s also a conversation starter for colourism which has been so topical amongst us women of colour and these are conversations that need to be had.
