Staff Picks: Chantelle Walker’s Favorites
Hi, I’m Chantelle Walker and I’m the assistant marketing director for Crown and Currency. I really love to read for escapism, so big reads that swallow me up are my jam. I love books that drop me into their settings, make me cry, or make me stay up late at night trying to figure out how it all ends. You can find me on social at @chantibaby.reads to see what I’m currently reading.

Add to BookshelfWe All Want to Change the World
by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Raymond Obstfeld
This is such a special read as you get to experience some of the country’s biggest social movements through the eyes of NBA giant and activist, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Reading this felt like listening to the elder men in my family talk about their own experiences. It is an insider’s take on how our views and perceptions are shaped by our experiences, but most importantly that those views can change.
