    I can think of a few that I would want others to read. None of them are “feel good” stories and all get you out of your comfort zone a bit.

    “Know my Name” by Chanel Miller.

    • about how being assaulted by Brook Allen Turner behind a dumpster at Stanfort University changed and impacted her life.

    “The White Rose: Munich 1942-1943” by Inge Scholl

    • about Hans and Sophie Scholl and their student resistance group ‘Die weisse Rose’, their arrest and execution by the Nazi regime.

    “I Am a Girl From Africa” by Elizabeth Nyamayaro

    • Humanitarian and award-winning Activist, about her journey from a starving child in Zimbabwe, saved by a UN aid worker, to executive director for UN Women.
