I am so grateful to #NetGalley and #HachetteAudio for granting me an audio ARC of HBCU Made。 Honestly， I don't know if this new release would have come across my radar otherwise， which would have been a total shame。 HBCU Made is a collection of short stories and reflections from HBCU Alum， and in the audiobook， they're narrating their own experiences。 The stories told range from pride， to experiences of homophobia， to life changing community， and more。 This book shares and uplifts black voices， I am so grateful to #NetGalley and #HachetteAudio for granting me an audio ARC of HBCU Made。 Honestly， I don't know if this new release would have come across my radar otherwise， which would have been a total shame。 HBCU Made is a collection of short stories and reflections from HBCU Alum， and in the audiobook， they're narrating their own experiences。 The stories told range from pride， to experiences of homophobia， to life changing community， and more。 This book shares and uplifts black voices， black excellence， and black joy。 As a person working in Higher Education， I'm so grateful to be able to hear these stories。 I'm so grateful for each of the writers and their stories。 。。。more

In her essay， A Southern Girl in a Complicated World， in the non-fiction book HBCU Made， Shawn Zachery states， "HBCUs exist to educate both those that have everything and those that may have nothing。 No one is left behind， which is why they are important。" There is not a better summary of reading the essays by famous and up-and-coming individuals who benefitted from attending an HBCU。 Ayesha Rascoe has done an immeasurable service for families， the schools， alumni， but most importantly， high sch In her essay， A Southern Girl in a Complicated World， in the non-fiction book HBCU Made， Shawn Zachery states， "HBCUs exist to educate both those that have everything and those that may have nothing。 No one is left behind， which is why they are important。" There is not a better summary of reading the essays by famous and up-and-coming individuals who benefitted from attending an HBCU。 Ayesha Rascoe has done an immeasurable service for families， the schools， alumni， but most importantly， high school students who are preparing to select and attend colleges。 Many of the HBCUs are located in states that are removing AP African-American History。 HBCUs are an essential part of that history and students will benefit from hearing how individuals benefitted from attending one of them。 We will be purchasing multiple copies for our high school library and those who work with students as they consider what their options are for colleges。 Thank You to Algonquin Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review。 It was magical， informational， insightful， and highly beneficial。 。。。more
