Work with What You Got, Imposter Syndrome, and Can I Get a Witness? are books that I’ve read myself or seen as books of note. This literature intends to expand our awareness, theology and/or acceptance of diverse viewpoints. We in Neighbor-to-Neighbor hope you’ll discover how these writings from various generations embrace what it means to be human and to walk in spirit.
Work with What You Got by Zion, Clark
Growing up as a Black disabled child in Ohio, this writer’s childhood was marked by instability as he moved from home to home, experiencing abuse and neglect. Yet his determination and grit pushed him to become an elite wrestler and wheelchair racer, speaking out about the failings of the foster care system.

Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim by Park, Patricia
At Alejandra Kim’s wealthy Manhattan high school, her super Spanish name and super Korean face do not compute to her mostly white "woke" classmates and teachers. She wants nothing more than to escape the city for the wide-open spaces of the prestigious Wyder University. But when a micro-aggression at school thrusts Ale into the spotlight--and into a discussion she didn't ask for--Ale must discover what it means to carve out a space to belong. For senior high and older readers.

Can I Get a Witness? by Blount, Brian
In this study, Brian Blount reads the Book of Revelation through the lens of African American culture, drawing correspondences between Revelation's context and the longstanding suffering of African Americans. He contends that Revelation is essentially a story of suffering and struggle amidst oppressive assimilation and that witnessing was the ethic by which John wished people to live.
