Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor is a glorious magical coming of age story. We follow along as Sunny grapples with cultural clashes between her American and Nigerian identities, and her outsider status as a Free Agent within the Leopard People. Madeleine and Grace expound on their love for magical education novels, discuss the perfection of knowledge as currency, and appreciate Okorafor’s anti-capitalist themes. Enter Leopard Knocks and join us!

This book was a listener recommendation - thank you, Nina! We’re working on broadening our podcast and would love to hear any recommendations you may have for YA fantasy novels by Black authors - email us at dragonbabiespodcast@gmail.com!
