âMy November Monthly Read is Brit Bennettâs mesmerising novel, The Vanishing Half. This book brilliantly surfaces a multitude of questions about race, class, and gender, told through a family drama that spans three generations in 20th-century America. Twin sisters Desiree and Stella choose very different paths in life, with the implications of their decisions reverberating down the generations. I was struck by how the novel so cleverly raises questions of heritage and identity while remaining non-judgmental, empathetic, and full of heart. I raced through this book and Iâm sure you will tooâ â Dua Lipa

How it started, how itâs going đ finally got to live out my millennial dream and create a new historical character for American Girl. Link in my bio to check out Claudieâs world and donate to the Harlem School for the Arts to support the next generation of Harlem artists!
