Story
In The Spirit of Our Work, Dr. Cynthia Dillard centers the spiritual lives of Black women educators and their students, arguing that spirituality has guided Black people throughout the diaspora. She demonstrates how Black women teachers and teacher educators can heal, resist, and (re)member their identities in ways that are empowering for them and their students. Dillard emphasizes that any discussion of Black teachers’ lives and work cannot be limited to truncated identities as enslaved persons in the Americas.

Best audio book ever
Reviewed: 04-05-22
this is by far my favorite audiobook that I have ever read, and that includes both fiction and nonfiction. this book should be required reading for all black features. It looks to be required reading for all my teachers. This book should be required reading for all black people. all of them to be quiet and listen to the audio and feel the reader while they are read it.

THIS is how female leads SHOULD be done!

Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time is a fantastic read. It's fun, gripping, well-paced and thoughtful. It is REALLY great for teaching character development over time and tracing theme (particularly through dialogue). I love it, my students love it, and it's great fun to read every year!
