Hello friends,
All of a sudden, I am at a happy stage of writing antiracist accountability posts that they now not only require multiple installments to track positive developments, but the subjects of various accountability posts also continue to commingle! This is fun in a way I did not anticipate!
Without further ado:
You will remember that I highlighted Mamadou Ndiaye (aka @mndiaye_97) and his excellent animal facts content as one of the (many) reasons that TikTok, when its algorithm is well-trained, is a source of seemingly endless delights.
In April 2021, Ndiaye's content was then featured on @pbsnature's account, which seemed like a very promising sign he was moving up in visibility.
Exciting update as of this month:
He wrote a book!!
It is entitled "100 Animals That Can F*cking End You", and it is available for pre-order now!
...Which brings me to the delightful mash-up of today's post, because this is an excellent opportunity to pre-order this assuredly entertaining and informative book, support an excellent Black content creator and educator, AND support Black-owned bookstores!
An very easy way to do that: Victoria Alexander is an anti-racist equity and justice educator based out of University of Maryland who also has great content on TikTok, including this video explaining a great, easy-to-use resource for purchasing books from people of color-, queer-, and women-owned bookstores instead of relying on Amazon. She also provides several curated booklists on various antiracist topics.
If you want to use that book-buying resource pre-order Ndiaye's book AND benefit Loyalty Bookstore, one of the Black- (and Queer-) owned bookstores featured in my previous post about buying from Black-owned bookstores, you can use their bookshop.org link by clicking here! (You can also buy through Ms. Alexander's personal link here, which will give her a small commission and is therefore a nice way to compensate her for her immensely important work!)
Enjoy! And congratulations Mamadou!!!
