        Sunday Dinner

        by Angela Shanté, Seth Rogers, Montaysia Yuneek Sims

        Sunday Dinners are for family, food, and fun! SUNDAY DINNER is a family story that celebrates the tradition of Sunday Dinners as seen through the imaginative eyes of the smallest member of the family, Brandon. On Sundays there’s sure to be a story to tell. You never know who might pop in or what  surprises (or tasty dishes) they might bring. The guests and the food make it Brandon’s favorite day, so when he’s assigned a huge project on family traditions, he knows exactly what to showcase. Award winning author Angela Shanté teams up with her husband Seth Rogers to bring this delightful story to life. “Sundays are for family, food, and fun,” Angela Shanté says. “It’s about sharing. Taking time to slow down and share a moment. This year should have taught us all how precious family time is.” Co-author Seth Rogers adds- “So many of our memories growing up are related to food. We wanted to make a book that shows children that the things we do today are the memories that we build traditions on in the future.” Angela and Seth are joined on the project by arts activist Montaysia Yuneek Sims, whose whimsical art brings the story to life.

        IN EVERY MIRROR SHE'S BLACK

        by Lola Akinmade Akerstrom

        An arresting debut for anyone looking for insight into what it means to be a Black woman in the world. Three Black women are linked in unexpected ways to the same influential white man in Stockholm as they build their new lives in the most open society run by the most private people. Successful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi is lured from the U.S. to Sweden by Jonny von Lundin, CEO of the nation's largest marketing firm, to help fix a PR fiasco involving a racially tone-deaf campaign. A killer at work but a failure in love, Kemi's move is a last-ditch effort to reclaim her social life. A chance meeting with Jonny in business class en route to the U.S. propels former model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae Johnson into a life of wealth, luxury, and privilege—a life she's not sure she wants—as the object of his unhealthy obsession. And refugee Muna Saheed, who lost her entire family, finds a job cleaning Jonny's office as she works to establish her residency in Sweden and, more importantly, seeks connection and a place she can call home. Told through the perspectives of each of the three women, In Every Mirror She's Black is a fast-paced, richly nuanced yet accessible contemporary novel that touches on important social issues of racism, classism, fetishization, and tokenism, and what it means to be a Black woman navigating a white-dominated society.
