Welcome to The Stacks, a podcast about books and the people who read them.

I'm your host Tracy Thomas and our guest today is Christine Platt.

Christine is an author and the woman behind the Afro Minimalist Instagram account.

Her latest book, The Afro Minimalist Guide to Living With Less, is our topic of discussion

for the day.

The book is focused on the why behind our buying habits, and it challenges the reader

to be a more conscious consumer and to work towards living with less.

The Stacks Book Club pick for July is the best we could do by T.Booey.

We'll be discussing the book on the show on Wednesday, July 28th with Mira Jacob.
