Plus, new books to read this month with All Ways Black. [View In Browser]( [Penguin Random House]( [All Ways Black: Black Legacy + Foundation] [Cree Myles] Cree Myles, Founding Editor of [All Ways Black]( Being the first, and laying the foundation, is a painful reality that many of us Black folks know all too well.

It requires a surrendering, both to the process and to a vision oftentimes no one can see but you. Doing so while also doubling as a token or mascot increases the challenge tenfold. Yet, time and time again, we’ve done it with grace, love, and honor — because seeing beyond ourselves is one of the most beautiful things about this community. Happy reading!
