I’ve been diving into more works by Black authors, too. I’m really enjoying The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, it’s a powerful read with so much depth. Also, Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi is a great fantasy pick. What about you? Any favorites so far?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
