pickPresident Joe Biden chose the first Black Woman to sit on the highest bench in America: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. This memoir tells the story of all that came before this extraordinary moment. She shares with us the story of her grandparents, parents, her education, her marriage, her children, her values; what it means for her to sit on this bench and all that it took for her to get there.
pickI‘ve had this one on my shelves for a while. Happy that I finally picked it up, it was what I needed. Big RBG fan & now a bigger fan. The book has details about her court decisions & dissents she has written. I loved learning about RBG‘s insights into cases she‘s been a part of over her long law career. She makes me wish I knew who she was when I was younger & went into law. #realhistory #honesthistory
pickA moving, inspiring life story of a brilliant woman. I‘m so glad I listened to the audiobook and heard not only her voice reading it but also her daughters Leila and Talia. Highly recommended.
The library world experienced a victory yesterday when the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted a temporary restraining order to block President Trump‘s dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The decision was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Library Association and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. https://bit.ly/43d0olu

pickI absolutely love this book. It took me a little bit to get through because life was life-ing, but it was worth it. I love how unapologetically Judge Brown Jackson is about her about her family her decisions just overall she stands 10 toes down and it is very evident in this book. Great read!
????? Named "Ketanji Onyika," meaning "Lovely One," based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents.
