#LemonadeSyllabus
The #LemonadeSyllabus is a robust, yet not exhaustive, 36 page booklet that has taken the advice of black women from all walks of life. While organized and created by Candice Benbow, the last six pages of the booklet contain the names and Twitter handles of the women who contributed. Rooted in Beyonce’s album, Lemonade, it has the substance of a course that could be offered from the departments of women’s studies or African American studies. The syllabus features over 200 resources ranging from readings, both fiction and autobiographical, to womanist theology to theatre and film.
