Beacons of Power: Dr. Chika Oriuwa’s Picks

A recommended reading list by Dr. Chika Oriuwa, author of UNLIKE THE REST, who writes, "As we step into Women's History Month and continue to celebrate the strength of Black resilience, I wanted to curate a collection of voices that speak to the heart of our shared humanity. Writing, for me, is as natural as breathing and as healing as a warm embrace—and these books are no exception. Each one, a lyrical testament to love, struggle, and the enduring power of truth, invites us to listen deeply and reflect on our own journeys. These titles are more than just stories on a page—they are beacons of the power of women's voices and the resilience of Black communities. Let them serve as your guide, your solace, and your inspiration as you embrace the wisdom woven through each narrative."
