Bonus Episode: Summer Book Recs
Description
In this bonus episode, Sarah and Whitney dive into a book discussion. They discuss titles like James by Percival Everett, Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, and Theo of Golden by Allen Levi.

Key Points
- From James: how we speak, read, and write are tied to our sense of belonging in a community and can also be used to wield power, both positively and negatively.
- From Born a Crime: language is often a stronger indicator of identity than race, class, or gender and can be a powerful way to connect with people who are different from us.
- From Theo of Golden: we can be creative in our approach to generosity and use it as an opportunity to speak truth and encouragement into others.
