Celebrating Tressie McMillan Cottom

In the spirit of Black History Month and resistance to the anti-DEI movement in the U.S., I would like to celebrate Author Tressie McMillan Cottom.

Several years ago, our UPS Director asked us to read her book THICK, which provided a personal perspective on being a Black woman. It was painful to read, but I am glad I was asked to read it with an open mind. What some of us take for granted is not the experience our Fellow Americans have to deal with.  

I  have followed Tressie on social media(Twitter, X) ever since because she shared personal experiences and a powerful message that we can be better.

Here is the link to Amazon on her book. It has 4.7 stars

Thick: And Other Essays - Kindle edition by Cottom, Tressie McMillan. Politics & Social Sciences Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
