@geoffrbennett and I had such a good conversation around The Price of Exclusion. He challenged me to quantify that price in modern currency. Here’s a bit of our @newshour discussion on Black physicians, education, hospital access, segregation and the challenges before us today. Link to full interview on nicolefcarr.com . Thank you to everyone who is reading or plans to read The Price of Exclusion. #bookish #blackauthor #blackhistory #healthcare #blackdoctors taken in PBS NewsHour by @nicolefcarr

SEPTEMBER Bestsellers | by Black-owned Bookstores| @blackbookstorecoalition

Wow, what is more powerful than amplifying someone else’s bestsellers list of Black books? Having entrepreneurs and leaders of Black-owned bookstores from across the nation amplify books WE consistently move via our OWN stores and sites. We are thrilled to announce our SEPTEMBER 2026 list!

Since 2020, I’ve had the immense joy of co-founding & organizing monthly meetings, facilitating educations sessions, and creating a community where we as entrepreneurs level up personally & professionally - collectively. Meet the Black Bookstore Coalition. No longer will we wait for folks to see us, we are unapologetically creating our own space to learn, grow, and thrive. Authors on these slides represent OUR voices.

This time last week, I was carrying my first book award around Harlem and presenting it to a spirit. I’d been led to Harlem several years ago through an ancestral connection that involved my great-grandfather, Zora Neale Hurston and an apartment building on 145th. Thought I’d share the story on this Sunday morning, as a sort of BTS for The Price of Exclusion writing process.

When a Black physician who headed Tuskegee’s training hospital petitioned the federal government to hire Black doctors and nurses for the Negro veterans hospital, the Klan showed up on campus and burned the doctor’s home to ashes. This is some of the Black healthcare history behind a Smithsonian exhibit at CAU and the narratives in my new book, The Price of Exclusion: https://nicolefcarr.substack.com/p/at-the-vanguard-black-health-and?r

Who gets the opportunity and who gets left behind? 👀

@iambrandiharvey and @nicolefcarr unpack what happens when Black educators are overlooked, standards aren’t applied equally, and the very people our communities need are pushed out of the profession.

This is a conversation about access, opportunity, and what our children lose when great teachers don’t get the chance to lead. 🎓

Why are Black women so overrepresented in certain spaces and underrepresented in others? 👀

In this conversation with @iambrandiharvey, @nicolefcarr breaks down how systems, access, and opportunity can shape who gets seen, supported, and positioned to succeed.

The first book award, Harlem and ancestral veneration. On Saturday evening I was privileged to return to a place where I’d researched and retraced my great-grandfather’s footsteps, and deepened my understanding of Black medical education with a trip through the archives. Harlem and the @schomburgcenter played an important role in the journey to author The Price of Exclusion, which was awarded for Best Non-Fiction work at the 22nd Annual African American Literary Awards Show. ✨

Thank you to the readers who nominated and voted on this historical preservation work, Yvette Hayward and the AALAS vision, the beautiful literary community and fellow nominees and winners across categories (especially @kemidoll , @mrmichaelleach and @jayleneclarkowens !), @traciwilkessmith1 for your continued and unwavering support and my dear family and friends who are with me no matter flesh or spirit.

On Sunday morning, I shared the award with Dr. Ferguson, who left me some clues years ago so that I could find his 1920s Harlem apartment. Here’s to you, Ancestor. Your story lives in the pages. taken in Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library by @nicolefcarr

This week @iambrandiharvey sits down with @nicolefcarr for an honest and empowering conversation about life, purpose, growth, and the experiences that shaped the woman she is today.

There’s power in telling your story and even more power in what someone else can learn from it.

This evening I had a chance to lead discussion around Mills, Du Bois and Crenshaw (as a HBCU Ph.D. student in an ethics/social philosophy course), and let me tell you….Our answers are in the readings, not the scrolling. KEEP READING. CHECK OUT the books. BORROW the books. BUY the BOOKS!!! taken in Clark Atlanta University by @nicolefcarr
