What clicked and made you have a different mindset? How long did it take to start changing and how long was the transformation? Did it last or is it an ongoing back and forth between your old self? I want to know your transformation and success.

Any kind of change, big or small. Anything from weight loss, world view, personality shift, major life change, single change like stopped smoking or drinking soda to starting exercising or going back to school. I want to hear how people’s life were a bit or a lot better through reading and your progress.

TIA 🙏

    The Autobiography of Malcolm X during middle school: it grew in popularity during the 90s when Public Enemy, BDP, X-Clan and other conscious rap was en vogue, but Malcolm’s story inspired a lot of us during that era in learning more about Islam, Afrocentricity/Pan Africanist, and critically thinking about American politics and other socio historical issues through a different lens.

    We Are the Weather: both made me reevaluate how diet & ethical eating impacts the environment both now and for future generations
