A Buddy Read With My Mom 📖💛

I finally got my mom on camera for a buddy read, and we had thoughts! 😭📚

We’re reviewing Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert by Bob the Drag Queen, and this conversation was meaningful, funny, and full of perspective. This was my first time reading this book, and sharing the experience with my mom made it even more special.

🎥 New YouTube video is live now!

Go watch our full review and let me know what you thought about this book.
