Today marks Louisa May Alcott’s 189th birthday. The Orchard House, her home in Concord, Massachusetts, revives the spirit of what made her classic LITTLE WOMEN a phenomenon spanning over 150 years 📖
MISFITS by Michaela Coel is a smart quick read where the actress, screenwriter, and producer of #imaydestroyyou and #chewinggum narrates her rise in entertainment by recognizing the people she classifies as misfits while also noticing how moths always seem to make an appearance on her journey.
Nella Larsen’s classic PASSING tells the story of an ill-fated friendship between two fair-skinned Black women in 1920s Harlem that feels threatened with one woman assuming a White racial identity to fit in a racist society. Shot in black-and-white, the film emphasizes those colors in the racial context and how they threaten the lives of @tessamaethompson’s Irene Redfield and @negga.ruth’s Clare Kendry Bellew.
October is Filipino American History Month. These special occasions serve as a reminder to expand our #tbr lists and in this case add more stories by Filipinx and Filipino authors, especially Filipina authors 📚✨
