"Samantha Irby’s memoirs are gifts that everyone should give themselves and each other. She writes with such wisdom about our culture and such honesty about herself. And nobody—but nobody—is funnier. Every time I read Samantha, I feel more free."

Zombie movies have oversaturated our culture and frankly, I skip over them any longer, bit this film is a beautiful and heart wrenching foray into zombie carnage, a very refreshing breath of air in a toxic smog of a million crappy counterparts

"Most everything I know about Nigerian cooking, I’ve learned from Ms. Aribisala, the nation’s finest culinary writer. She writes with emotion, grace and good humor about pop culture, history, geography, art and economics, all through her very personal stories of food and sex."

Book Favorite

"Of course, the black body exists within a wider black culture — one Hurston portrayed with grace and insight in this seminal novel. She defies racist Americans who would standardize the cultures of white people or sanitize, eroticize, erase or assimilate those of blacks."

This was my third viewing of The Last Samurai and I can only express how much this film improves everything I watch it. The story is beautiful, moving, and does an excellent job of showing Japanese culture in a beautiful and interesting way.

Read for Judah's school. Too much focus on him being a misbehaving child. Ya, he had consequences he had to deal with. But just didn't sit well with me. Maybe I'm crazy. But I di like the intro into the Chinese culture for Judah.
