    Reading to moderate a panel of "Good Trouble" Jewell does it again with a collection of perfection-- using her own experience and voices but interweaving stories of others, the approach is easy to follow, understand, and think about. Definitions are used when necessary and the changes in voice lend itself to a variable experiences of the Global Majority who have been underrepresented and oppressed.

    Jewell gives readers quite a bit to chew on from how we educate youth (as an educator myself) to questioning what we read in school to working to support others whether it be in roles of advocacy, changed behavior, or shared experiences to better prepare ourselves to share a world that is antiracist.
