Yes Ma'am ❤👸🏿 _ "remember all the women who wrote for you. all the women like you, with skin like yours. women who were once enslaved. women who were once colonized. women who hold languages that when you try to speak it, it tears your tongue wide open. remember all these women who were singers, poets, priestesses, artists, healers, whose lives were declared anonymous, whose paintings hang in foreign museums as "unknown", whose lives declared as unlived. remember them." Ijeoma Umebinyuo, Questions for Ada

#BookReview 📚🧐 Sula by Toni Morrison _ Nel and Sula share an intense friendship while growing up in the neighbourhood of Bottom, the hills above the valley town of Medallion, Ohio. Nel comes from a neat and orderly home and a rigid and conventional family, while Sula comes from a disorderly household, a family of disregard for social conventions.  _ Sula has a fiery spirit and can’t sustain any emotion for long while Nel appears to be more consistent. However, with their contrasting personalities, they both have distant mothers and both have an adventurous spirit, along with an urge to explore whatever beckons their curiosity and interest. _ Sula comes from a family of strong and independent women who enjoy maleness, and that enjoyment they take and do with it as they please. Sula’s grandmother Eva has a regular flock of male callers but for its own sake and not really to sleep with.  _ Around the time that Nel marries, Sula goes off to study and returns ten years later on a peculiar day, which makes people suspicious of her. She hasn’t changed – still the same with her sharp tongue, feisty attitude and determined to live her own life by her own rules. Their friendship is broken when she betrays Nel. _ Sula is a provocative read that examines good and evil and confronts the idea of morality. It questions what we believe to be moral and not. We see good and evil as things that change with perspective and sometimes with convenience.  _ I absolutely love the way she brings out female independence, personal and sexual liberty, and individualism. The Peace women are unapologetically what they say they are and if anyone doesn’t like it they can go suck it. _ Read more on our blog, www.bookneighbourhood.com .
