pickThis is a ya book, but there is so much in here I didn‘t know before. Like high fives were the accidental invention of an American gay baseball player Glenn Burke.
To start tomorrow.
pickThis is somewhat outdated because it was published before the Gates‘ divorce, Melinda isn‘t running the foundation anymore but has her own.
Still interesting though. Gates narrates the audiobook. She talks about women‘s issues, how her foundation is trying to solve problems globally (like birth control to help with family planning), & tells some of her personal stories. Liked hearing about the work she does to give people more opportunities. 👇
I was fairly indifferent to the work of the Gates‘ Foundation but now I have a new found respect and admiration for Melinda French Gates. I can‘t wait to se what else she does.

pickThis is a powerful coming of age novel written in prose. It includes so much, but it all fits. It's about being Afro- European, about domestic violence, about being queer. I learned so much from reading this book and even after finishing it a couple of days ago, I'm still deeply impressed.
pickAnother part of my birthday book haul. A beautiful book for all ages.
so-so
