If you’ve already read my book Take My Hand, you know what this Supreme Court decision will mean for black, brown, poor, disabled women. You know that the most vulnerable among us are being targeted. You know this.

Harriet A. Washington![Dolen](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/ff5fe1fb-55a2-4a0a-bb51-636715101bdc.webp)
I highly recommend Harriet Washington’s Medical Apartheid as a source of the history of medical racism in this country. For anyone who is stunned by what happens in my book, Washington will contextualize the problematic history of experimentation on the Black body.

Carvell Wallace![Dolen](https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/avatars-md/ff5fe1fb-55a2-4a0a-bb51-636715101bdc.webp)
This appreciation of beauty gets its moment in the book in ways that are both philosophical and intimate…Wallace’s aesthetic appreciation of language echoes in poetic sentences that craft metaphor with ease and wrap the reader in an evocative cocoon of powerful witnessing.
