Memoirs from authors Glory Edim and Moshe Kasher narrate their lives through cultural objects: books and subcultures. First, Edim, the founder of the Well-Read Black Girl book club, grew up as the child of Nigerian immigrant parents searching for their way into American identity. As part of that journey, Edim found herself through reading. Her memoir, Gather Me, is a coming-of-age story told through her encounters with books. In today's episode, Edim speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about the early influence of stories such as Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, reading as an act of defiance, and a trove of letters that helped the author reconnect with her father. We then hear from comedian Moshe Kasher, whose memoir Subculture Vulture is organized around six scenes he's inhabited throughout his life. After deciding to get sober, Kasher accessed community and recovery in expected and unexpected places, from Alcoholics Anonymous to the rave scene. In today's episode, he joins NPR's Rachel Martin to discuss healing core wounds, the relationship between Burning Man and the Jewish Days of Awe, and the responsibility of being a comedian today.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This author talk featuring author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Rachel Cargle in conversation with Well-Read Black Girl founder, Glory Edim, was everything we'd hoped it would be. Each lady brought warmth and wisdom, discussing how African American literature serves not just as a mirror reflecting personal growth but also as a beacon calling for societal change. Their experiences, alongside the revelations shared from Rachel's memoir, A Renaissance of Our Own, shed light on the essential nature of storytelling in advocacy and the holistic approach to defining success that transcends material wealth.Our conversation turned to the struggle and beauty of remaining true to oneself amidst the demands of public life. We pondered the legacies of powerhouse figures like Oprah and Beyoncé, delving into how their examples of ambition and self-realization have influenced our personal and professional endeavors. This discussion was a reminder that our brightest potential lies within, waiting to be unlocked by embracing every facet of our identity.We wrapped up our heartfelt exchange by contemplating the balance between personal well-being and the fight for collective liberation, a conversation sparked by the poignant insights of Tony Kate Bombard and the impact of the Loveland Foundation. Acknowledging the complex dance with financial freedom, we recognized the power of investing in our communities and the infinite potential when we fuse entrepreneurship with activism. As we honored the contributions of black playwrights like Angelina Weld Grimke, we found ourselves not just recounting history but paving the way for future generations to discover the richness and diversity of African-American literature.MakerSPACE is here to meet the needs of today's entrepreneurs, creatives, and work-from-home professionals.

Are you ready to dive into some summer reading? MPR News host Kerri Miller has nine titles you should put on your list. On this week's show, a “Take it to the Lake” special, she asked three people who spend a lot of time recommending books to devoted readers what titles they would put in your hands this season. She also talked to them about what makes a good summer read. Here's what she heard. Glory Edim is the founder of Well-Read Black Girl , a podcast and digital literacy platform that celebrates the uniqueness of Black literature and sisterhood. Courtesy of Tiffany A. Bloomfield Glory Edim. “In the summer, I pick a book that lets me follow the plot. I'm in love with the voice; I'm a very voice-driven writer and editor. So if I can find a story that has a really sensational and powerful voice, I tend to save those reads for the summer, because that's my fun time. That's my let's-get-lost-in-a-story time.” Summer book picks: “Post-Traumatic” by Chantel V. Johnson “The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer” by Janelle Monáe “Shine Bright: A Very Personal History of Black Women in Pop” by Danyel Smith Dionne Sims is the founder and owner of Black Garnet Books , the only Black-owned bookstore in Minnesota. Courtesy of Trista Marie McGovern Dionne Sims. “It's starting to warm up here in Minnesota, finally. I'm feeling that urge to get back into the things that I love — one of which is reading. And I just want to pretend like I have a summer vacation again. I want to carve out the time to travel and make sure I have a couple of books on hand.” Summer book picks: “Memphis” by Tara M. Stringfellow “All We Can Save: Truth, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis” a collection of essays edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine K. Wilkinson “Yinka, Where Is Your Huzband?” by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn Matt Keliher is the general manager and buyer for Subtext Books , an independent bookstore in St. Paul. Courtesy of Sam Ziegler Matt Keliher. “I work with my colleagues to make decisions about what books we carry and stock. A lot of our displays do showcase things that people are expecting to see when they show up. But we also have a giant display of our favorite books. Personally, as the buyer, I try not to exert my will or interest on the curation. But at the same time, that's what keeps it interesting for me.” Summer book picks: “Trust” by Hernan Diaz “The Anomaly” by Hervé Le Tellier “The Sea of Tranquility” by Emily St. John Mandel Bonus pick from Kerri: “The Long-Shining Waters” by Danielle Sosin To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

In 2006, Oprah Winfrey picked James Frey's “A Million Little Pieces” as a book club pick, catapulting Frey into the literary limelight. Soon after, though, reports emerged that he'd fabricated much of the memoir and his most harrowing experiences with drugs and violence. So Oprah confronted Frey on her show, in a very awkward interview. Years later, though, she apologized to Frey for the confrontation. We break it all down and what it means to be duped, be called out, and show contrition. Special guest: Glory Edim, founder of “Well Read Black Girl” and host of the Well Read Black Girl podcast.

Glory Edim, founder of Well-Read Black Girl, joins us today for a special episode! In 2015, she founded the Brooklyn-based book club and online community. Two years later, a literary festival emerged. This month, she launched Well-Read Black Girl with Glory Edim by Pushkin Industries. We begin with Glory's daily morning journal (3:30), the mission behind her new podcast (4:28) and the “literary kickback” she hopes it becomes (5:35). As the debate over Critical Race Theory continues (7:24), she reflects on the importance of “offering space” to writers of color (10:24) and how her work has been shaped by authors like Audre Lorde (13:00), Maya Angelou (14:00), and bell hooks (15:00). On the back-half, Glory shares memories from a childhood of “mothering herself” (18:26), the archive she created of her father before his passing (21:19), and how Well-Read Black Girl transformed her pain into something bigger than herself (27:00). Before we go, we turn to a poem from Honey, I Love by Eloise Greenfield (31:39), a formative senior yearbook quote (36:34), and where Glory hopes to go in the years ahead (37:30).
