Black History Month Read/Watchlist With Little to no Context

Hello!  Recently, I've been engaging with many documentaries and books that involve Black history and culture, and I feel that it's imperative that I use this platform that I have to share the things I've watched or read that have changed my worldview. I would like to also emphasize the fact that it doesn't need to be Black History Month for you to educate yourself and others on or appreciate Black history/culture.  Please look up trigger warnings if you do decide to read or watch anything on this list! It's good to educate yourself, and educating yourself on history is usually uncomfortable, but take care of yourself. Self care is an act of resistance! Without further ado, here is my read/watchlist recommendations for Black History Month 2026, with little to no context.  (None of this is sponsored by the way).  Books to Read  1. "N*groes with Guns" by Robert F. Williams  This book will radicalize you so much.  2. "Recitatif" by Toni Morrison  Th...

How Does Misogynoir Effect Black Women?

Hello! This is yet again another assignment that I did for an English class. It’s one of my proudest works and I hope you enjoy it!    Abstract The main topic of this paper is misogynoir, and how it effects Black women and feminine presenting people. We’ll be looking at a series of personal experiences, studies, and definitions to explore this topic. There will be sections that focus on misogynoir in school, workplaces, protesting, and childbirth. I felt that these were some of the most important and/or interesting presentations of misogynoir. There will also be some ways you can help combat misogynoir and be of support to the Black feminine community. Keywords : misogynoir, racism, intersectionality, misogyny, feminism, Black women, obstetric racism, feminine presenting         What is Misogynoir?                First and foremost; what is misogynoir? I would define misogynoir ...

Stuck in the Tesseract: Teenagers and Young Adults with Autism

 Hello! This is an original work that I wrote for an English class (I think) about 2 years ago. This references a lot of my own personal experiences with autism and includes research I've done on teens and young adults with autism. It’s certainly not my best research, but I still hope you enjoy it!  Stuck in the Tesseract: Teenagers and Young Adults with Autism        Being a teenager with autism is the weirdest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. I got diagnosed pretty late. Most people get diagnosed in early childhood while I was diagnosed in late 9 th grade, I’m in 11 th grade now. To make this easier to understand, I’ll give you my own personal definition and experience with autism. If you’d like a more professional definition, most of the papers I’ll be citing have a good description. For me, autism is having an extreme disconnect or misunderstanding with everyone around you. Sometimes it’s even like that with other autistic people. Missing...
