Overview

In 2025, I'm trying to become more educated on the issues of our times like Environmen Crisis, Race, Racism, Feminism, Social Justice, Addiction, and Poverty. Knowing more means being able to be a better participant, ally, and advocate. To that end my goal is to read at least 15 books on these subjects.
