In Sisters of the Yam, bell hooks reflects on the ways in which the emotional health of black women has been and continues to be impacted by sexism and racism. Desiring to create a context where black females could both work on their individual efforts for self-actualization while remaining connected to a larger world of collective struggle, hooks articulates the link between self-recovery and political resistance. Both an expression of the joy of self-healing and the need to be ever vigilant in the struggle for equality, Sisters of the Yam continues to speak to the experience of black womanhood.

      Adenrele Ojo performs bell hooks's modern classic, bringing it to audio for the first time. Hooks writes about how Black women's well-being is still deeply impacted by sexism, racism, and homophobia. To better themselves and their communities, Black women should focus on self-recovery--nurturing their sense of self by taking care of their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Ojo's narration captures the passion of hooks's words and the deep love that she has for Black communities, especially Black women. With her performance, Ojo matches hooks's intensity, creating an impactful listening experience. Ojo's performance invites listeners to learn from one of the great minds of our time.
