Februray Reading List: Black History Month
I'm learning the great gift of goal-setting this year -- turns out setting goals is pretty transformative! (Who knew?)
In February, I made it a goal to read a play per day by a black female playwright on the New Play Exchange, in honor of Black History Month. It was a huge beautiful honor to spend time with the words and in the worlds of these playwrights. I can't wait to dive deeper into their work as the year progresses.
