Ep003 In Every Mirror She’s Black with Lola Akinmade Åkerström
What does your mind conjure when thinking of home? How does that feel?
In this episode, Layla Saad interviews Lola Akinmade Åkerström, an award-winning visual storyteller, international bestselling author, and travel entrepreneur.
Together they explore:
Lola’s debut fiction book, In Every Mirror She’s Black published by Sourcebooks Landmark is our June 2022 selection in the Become A Good Ancestor book club.
“Regardless of Kemi’s background or Brittany’s background or Muna’s background, the first thing you see is the color of their skin, their Blackness. But as you read the book you see that all three women have really nothing in common, they’re very different individuals. And that’s the point of the book: to show this multidimensionality to Black womanhood.”
- Lola Akinmade Åkerström, Author of ‘In Every Mirror She’s Black’
