Every year February is recognized as Black History Month, but there's an Arizona-based bookseller who has made it her mission to highlight Black authors all year long. On this episode we're joined by Petra Sherbin-Fox. She owns The Lit Twis't: the first Black-owned mobile bookstore in the Valley. Petra opened the shop after not being able to find books by authors she was looking for, particularly Black female authors. She joins our host, Whitney Clark, with a list of ten recommendations, including fiction and non-fiction.

That includes the following: 

"Hood Wellness: Tales of Communal Care from People Who Drowned on Dry Land" by Tamela J. Gordon

"A Renaissance of Our Own: A Memoir and Manifesto on Reimagining" by Rachel E. Cargle
