According to Pew Research, the median number of books read by Americans annually is four. Joining us to delve into the transformative power of reading within the Black community are our guest co-host, the insightful "Queen of Intellect" LaTrice Ross, and special guest, author Brother Ankh. Together, we’ll discuss what books should be considered essential for Black readers today. Do classics like The Mis-Education of the Negro, The Souls of Black Folk, and Up From Slavery still provide the tools African Americans need to navigate the American experience effectively, or is it possible these same works now hold us back? Are there new or lesser-known books that could serve us even better in today’s society?

Mental Dialogue is here to ask the questions others avoid. CALL IN to share the books you believe can make a meaningful impact on the African American community as well! ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
