Your Silence Will Not Protect You by Audre Lorde
In this episode of Everything Hidden, Justine embraces the concept of self-care through various expressions during February, a month frequently referred to as the month of love. This perspective is significant because individuals will encounter different aspects of love throughout this time. To me, this encapsulates what "self-help" truly means. The featured book includes a collection of essays, addresses, and poetry by Audre Lorde. Throughout February, I aim to showcase diverse representations of love— encompassing self-love, sisterhood, and romantic relationships. The essay/speech discussed in the episode focuses on: Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power and Eye to Eye.

Octavia Was Right
In the debut episode of Everything Hidden, Justine highlights her initial literary inspiration, Octavia Butler, who was a trailblazer in the realm of science fiction and is widely regarded as the Mother of Afro-futurism. During an era when black women authors in this genre were scarce, she emerged as the first to blend science fiction with speculative storytelling—crafting narratives that confront themes like race and gender dynamics, power struggles and fundamentalism, along with issues related to climate change.
Each month, Justine will present recommendations for literature by black authors spanning both fiction and non-fiction. Together they will curate a distinctive and well-rounded personal library. February begins with Octavia's Parable of the Sower and explores how her insights resonate profoundly with current societal developments.
