1/ I just finished this beautiful, courageous, and searing memoir “I Can’t Save You” by @CQ__MD. It was . . . in a word. . . sublime. Whew. And full disclosure—as his former med school advisor & friend—I love Dr. CQ. But. I also love books and honesty. And he knows that. https://t.co/h5DsuIohgl

1/ #3recommendations: A friend gifted me with this short book “Notes on Grief” by @ChimamandaReal. I read it from cover to cover. Then, I went back to the first page to start over. Every single word was sublime. And so, so perfect. I cannot recommend this book enough. https://t.co/VrKVF1HOG9

OMG! WHY am I so late to reading “Eloquent Rage” by Brittney Cooper?! My head is spinning. Thanks @DrV_NeoMD for helping me right this wrong. And thank you @ProfessorCrunk for being brilliant and publishing this sublime thought piece. You did that, sis. Wow. 👊🏽 #dothework https://t.co/8CKveFTuzD

@jenreadlynn That quote is from Carol Dweck's book "Mindset." It's one of my favorite books!

I’ve always said that Bryan Stevenson of the @eji_org is my Beyoncé. But. May I please add author Ross Gay to this category? His “Book of Delights” is one of my favorite books ever. Just finished his new one “Inciting Joy” and my soul is rejoicing. I love his words. Sigh.🥹 https://t.co/2wQcN6EKxS

Hearing @imaniperry speak in the closing plenary of #AAMC22 today was everything. If you’ve not read her book “South to America” you should. Hate I couldn’t stay to get a signed copy. BUT—for those who don’t know, she narrates the audioversion herself. It is sublime. Yup.📚 https://t.co/l8pxhC9dnV

Okay! Just finished the @audible_com version of “On Rotation” by @shirleneobuobi and . , . O. M. G. LOVED the story. LOVED the writing. AND especially LOOOOOVED @TheMelaLee’s narration—and I’m a narrator SNOB!😂😂 I was sad for it to end. I already miss the characters. 🥹💛 https://t.co/zzNQ5LY2rd

I’m working on a new lecture and am kind of hyped about it. Toni Morrison always said she approached things as a consumer and created things she hungered for. I love this approach. What are y’all working on? What are you hungering to hear/read/learn?
