Welcome back for another episode of the Fake Ass Book Club. Moni and Kat feature another FAB female author this week.The women are joined by special guest (and learned younger cousin of Moni) Paul Watson aka @cuzimthattrill to discuss his book suggestion “The Hate U Give” by Angie Thomas. This book has lots of big topics!! Their conversation covers code switching, Tupac,The Black Panther Party, police violence, and Moni's inconspicuously ripped jeans. They also illustrate why concepts like Critical Race Theory are so important when speaking about the Black American experience. As always, please sit back and enjoy the vibes.
