zinelib 's review for:

Uphill by Jemele Hill
4.5
adventurous funny reflective medium-paced

I didn't know who Hill was and don't remember how I heard about her book. It was a great listen, and I'm psyched to know about Ms. Hill now! She's a sports writer/anchor/personality? who covered sports for newspapers and later for ESPN before parting ways with them for Reasons. She's a smart, funny, political person who is open about the fact that there's no such thing as objectivity in journalism (see also: neutrality in libraries) and so brings her whole self to her work. That means Blackness. 

Plus she got into it with then-President Trump for factually describing him as a white supremacist. And he got mad about! https://x.com/RickStrom/status/1158073483579936768/photo/1
