On this episode we're joined by Petra Sherbin-Fox. She owns The Lit Twis't: the first Black-owned mobile bookstore in the Valley. Petra opened the shop after not being able to find books by authors she was looking for, particularly Black female authors. She joins our host, Whitney Clark, with a list of ten recommendations, including fiction and non-fiction.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">That includes the following:</span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">"Hood Wellness: Tales of Communal Care from People Who Drowned on Dry Land" by Tamela J.
