Trynita’s Pick: The Devil Wears Prada<\/strong>
\nThe Devil Wears Prada reminds me of how as women we can do and be anything. In times of despair, adversity, great challenge or victory women have continuously been intricate in seeing things and people through. One of my mantras is “not every storm comes to destroy but some to clear a path.”<\/span>

I loved Cassie and the Logan family and soon read the following books: Let the Circle Be Unbroken and The Road to Memphis. When I finished reading The Road to Memphis, I was upset that the fourth book hadn’t been released yet. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry was released for the first time in 1979 and The Road to Memphis was published in 1990: four years before I was born! Where was Ms. Mildred Taylor with the last book??? This year in February I just so happened to look up Mildred D. Taylor and found that she had released All the Days Past, All The Days to Come, the last installment to the Logan Family Series. I am so excited to be re-reading the series and to know that it is never too late to finish what you started. Thank you, Ms. Taylor, and to all women authors who have molded me with their carefully chosen words and multifaceted strong characters.<\/span><\/p>\nBrenna Cowardin: Isabel of the Whales, by Hester Velmans<\/strong> \nThis is the first book that made me cry. I remember very clearly sitting at my desk and reading during recess in third grade and just sobbing because the ending was so heart-wrenching. It’s a short novel for children about an 11-year-old girl who falls into the ocean on a whale-watching trip and turns into a whale. The premise is a bit odd, but it’s very sweet and empowering, especially for young girls. \n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6230\" src=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_6229-1-e1585091549938-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_6229-1-e1585091549938-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_6229-1-e1585091549938-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\nMorgan’s Pick: Girl, Wash Your Face, by Rachel Hollis<\/strong> \nThis book is a must-read for any woman who believes that she is the only one who doesn’t have life figured out yet. It definitely helped me a lot during my transition from college to the real world where I faced a lot of rejection, uncertainty, and an overall disconnect between the life I was living and the life I had imagined for myself after I graduated. <\/span>Girl, Wash Your Face<\/span><\/i> shows you how to live with passion and hustle \u2014 and how to give yourself grace without giving up. <\/span><\/p>\nShawn’s Pick: <\/strong>Milk and Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers, by Rupi Kaur<\/strong> \nDefinitely on the top of my poetry lists! I love how Rupi Kaur’s work is simple but purposful, bold but humble, and most of all, relatable. \n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6231\" src=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_2964-e1585091566264-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_2964-e1585091566264-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/floc.org\/flocold2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_2964-e1585091566264.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> \n<\/span><\/p>\nHere are some more of FLOC’s staff favorites to empower you during #WomensHistoryMonth! \nMovies\/TV Shows: \n<\/strong>Grace & Frankie \n<\/span><\/i>Ella Enchanted<\/span><\/i> \n<\/span>Legally Blonde<\/span> \n<iframe class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/jlqK4SuFYm3Hq\" width=\"480\" height=\"255\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/jlqK4SuFYm3Hq\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\nBooks: \n<\/strong>The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, <\/i>by Thi Bui – a beautiful graphic novel written about the author’s family’s journey from Vietnam to the US as refugees during the Vietnam War.
