Book Review: Power in Numbers

 Hello! Apparently, I had more time for reading! Yay! I have enrolled myself again in online course (just one at time, lesson learned haha) and I had more time for creative thinking; more time for managing my social pages, and yes: more FREE LITERATURE READING! So, this is one of the books I checked during this hottest-July-ever-recorded in Vancouver. Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics The author of this book is Talithia Williams.

I learned so much on the topic of Indigenous people in Canada and generally in North America. Now I even have a favorite Indigenous designer. It's Jamie Okuma, oh my Goodness those booth of hers!  👢👢 You need to google her right away! In this moment! Ok, ok, just if you want, I'm not gonna be too pushy 😀 Also, I realiz...
