Described as “a space where you can find ways to read the world differently,” the Service95 book club is a platform created by the British singer, songwriter, and actress Dua Lipa.

Born and raised in London and having spent part of her adolescence in Pristina, Kosovo, Lipa gained worldwide popularity in 2017 with her hit “New Rules.” Drawing inspiration from artists like Madonna and Outkast, the multi-talented artist first broke out in 2015 with the success of “Be The One.”

And in November 2025, Where We Stand, the English edition of Djamila Ribeiro’s Lugar de Fala, is featured on the select list “6 Radical Reads That Will Change The Way You Think About The World.”

“Great writing can do great things – as these six books prove. Across countries and causes, each one exposes systems, shifts culture and gives language to the fight for justice in their own way,” highlights the introductory text for the month’s picks, curated in collaboration with the online bookstore Tertulia. The Brazilian writer and philosopher is introduced as “the voice that mainstreamed Black feminism in Brazil.”

“The Voice That Mainstreamed Black Feminism In Brazil”

The Service95 article presents the Brazilian writer and philosopher as “the voice that mainstreamed Black feminism in Brazil.” The book’s introduction emphasizes Djamila’s fundamental role in broadening the debate on racial and gender issues beyond academic circles.

“In calling out the everyday, systemic racism and sexism that shape life in the country, philosopher Djamila Ribeiro became a household name,” the publication states. “This iconic book, part manifesto, part moral compass, Ribeiro blends philosophy, politics, and personal reflection to show what it means to fight for justice in a society built on inequality. Sharp, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore, her voice dares readers to take a stand.”

Alongside Giants

The list highlights Djamila Ribeiro’s work alongside five other books by globally impactful authors, such as activist—and an inspiration to Djamila—Angela Y. Davis (Are Prisons Obsolete?), essayist Rebecca Solnit (Men Explain Things to Me), writer Maggie Nelson (The Argonauts), Japanese journalist Shiori Ito (Black Box), and French novelist Édouard Louis (The End of Eddy).

About Service95

The Service95 platform was inspired by Dua Lipa’s habit of sharing lists with those around her. The site is organized into sections like “The Culture List,” “The Action List,” “The Travel List,” and “The Reading List,” where Djamila’s work was selected.

The inclusion in Service95 reinforces the global reach of Djamila Ribeiro’s work and the urgency of its themes, connecting the discussion of Black feminism in Brazil with readers all over the world.
