Reading Writers Of Color 2021

https://lonelycryptidmedia.com/2020/12/11/reading-writers-of-color-2021/

For the year 2021 read the work of Black, Indigenous, and people of color that fit the following prompts:

January: By a woman of color
February: By a scientist
March: A work of fiction
April: By a queer or trans author
May: About a radical social movement or historical event
June: On your “to be read” list
July: Collection of short stories, poetry, or essays
August: By an award winner
September: In translation
October: Memoir, biography, or creative nonfiction
November: By a local author
December: Published 2021
Which month looks most exciting for you? Which month are you most uncertain about?


I am most excited about getting to discuss Their Eyes Were Watching God with my Classics book group in April. Zora Neale Hurston was not queer or trans as far as I know, so I will read it in March for "A work of fiction."

I am most uncertain about November: By a local author. ETA: Stephen Graham Jones lives in Boulder. That's local enough.

Anpetu Wi wind farm for Standing Rock

https://anpetuwi.com/frequently-asked-questions/

I just donated to this project.
A 235MW wind farm owned by a Native nation that prioritizes people, land, and nature over profit.
The Anpetu Wi wind farm needs your support
Anpetu Wi (“morning light”) will be the single largest revenue source for Standing Rock, which we plan to reinvest into future projects and Standing Rock as a whole. We need your support to ensure this wind farm remains owned and operated by the people of Standing Rock for generations to come.
