One Life by Megan Rapinoe, Emma Brockes
5.0

This is a fantastic memoir. I listened to it as an audiobook on the strength of knowing only that Megan Rapinoe is queer and seemed cool. She is much more than that. She's had over a decade long career of playing at the very highest level of women's soccer, winning multiple world championships. Along the way she has been passionately advocating for acceptance of LGBTQ athletes, equal pay for women, and for Black Lives Matter. She is four years older than I am, so perhaps it isn't surprising that she had her political awakening earlier than I did. It's such a fierce joy to hear her talk about standing up for what she believes in over and over and over again.
