About this challenge
Let’s continue listening, learning, and taking action. For this Challenge, we want our community to come together and help each other out by sharing resources that can help us all educate ourselves.
We want to know one book, article, or podcast that has taught you a particularly valuable lesson and that you'd recommend others turn to to help educate themselves as well. We’re talking about that one read or listen that really got you rethinking what you'd never questioned before. Let’s get deep into why you loved it and why you think everyone out there should include it in their list of tools to better themselves.
Tips
To make this collection of resources even more helpful, make it visual and easy for others to quickly access what you're recommending:
- Podcast: embed your podcast or the episode you learned the most from using our embed feature. You can lean more about embedding rich media here.
- Article: Link people to the article you read so they can read it too—you can also use the embed feature for this!
- Book: Suggest local bookstores, preferably Black-owned business, that your readers can go to. Alternatively, you can also link people to online sellers.

October Challenge Winners
October turned out to be a much stranger place than we expected, and we loved seeing where everyone took it. From familiar autumn scenes to some wonderfully unexpected settings, this challenge brought out a lot of creativity and imagination.

You Are Here Challenge Winners
For You Are Here , we asked writers to put readers somewhere they weren't supposed to be. What really stood out in the stories that placed was how often that line wasn't so clear. Sometimes you knew you were pushing your luck, sometimes you had every right to be there, and sometimes you didn't get much of a choice. Writing in second person made those situations feel a lot harder to watch from the sidelines.

Negative Space Challenge Winners
For Negative Space , we asked writers to explore how much can be said through what's left out. Our favorite entries found clever ways to make those silences, gaps, and unanswered questions feel just as important as the words themselves.
