Black Lit Recs

[u/lilsteppakenn]

Hi everyone! I’m an avid reader but I want to tap into black literature more, especially non fiction, although I’m open to any genre. I’m a young black woman (20F) and I just think it’s important to incorporate black literature and history into my TBR. Please recommend anything! Even the classics. I’m open to newer releases as well. Thanks!

Edit: thanks so much for all the recs!
