Thank you so much for sharing these. Hanif is one of my favorite writers and I'd forgotten about this essay! Going to re read it. I re read Clint Smith's poem "When They Say We've Been Through Worse" and am also re reading Mariame Kaba's essays fron WE DO THIS TILL WE FREE US. I also find inspiration in the words of freedom fighter elders so I have a list of memoirs and narrative nonfiction I hope to pair alongside activism next year 💖
