Day 15 brings us to Scout "Scoot" "Scooter" "Scoot-Scoot" Boynton!!! Trust us...it takes a woman with many nicknames to pull off playing first base in sandals!!! 😏
The 2nd way we can educate ourselves is with books! To center and amplify Black voices and peoples, we must first listen intently to what they have to say. Pick up any book on our reading list from your local Black-owned bookstore and begin (or continue) doing this work with us.
