On April 23, 2016, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter released the visual album Lemonade, which chronicled the experiences of many Black women in intimate and social relationships. After Lemonade aired, sisters began to seek resources that would help them unpack the rich Black feminist and womanist themes that permeate the album. #LemonadeSyllabus was created and the resulting list is a robust introduction to Black women who tell stories in hopes of setting us free.
