Good luck!

I’m so inspired by Kalima’s constant drive to not only pursue her passion for books and intersectional feminism, but also her deep commitment to doing so in a sustainable, life-giving way. I can’t wait till your new podcast drops!

A strong understanding of community

I love the format of this podcast. I love how Kamila DeSuze takes the time to not only review the books, but she takess the time to get to know the community member who suggested the book. A perfect companion to a wonderful shop!
