My Project

I would love your help in adding the novel The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett to my senior course.

This book would be a valuable addition to any future senior course that has to do with racism in America, the LBTQI+ experience, or identity.

It has been a longtime goal of mine to bring in voices from groups that are oftentimes severely underrepresented in the canonical curriculum and I think that this text is a great choice for this reason, and also for its literary merit and engaging storyline.
