Reading List 2022 - 2023
Some of my favourite books
Below are books I’ve read in the last few years.
These books have been vital to my healing and client work.
For the last 8-10 years, I have tried to read books by Women of Colour. I love fiction and non-fiction books and adore young adult books.
Whenever possible, I also consciously buy books directly from the authors or my local bookstores.
Happy reading.
