This collection of essays was profoundly moving. Thick is an incredible insight into what it means to be a black woman and how to exist in a capitalist society built for white people. With the Black Lives Matter protests happening right now I knew very little about the experience of black women. This book moved me to tears. There are so many privileges I have as a white woman that I never even think twice about because it's not a problem for me.

This is an essential read for understanding white supremacy and addressing your own white privilege.
