I picked it for the title and the cover, but I don't really know who Akilah Hughes is. She seems cool though. I was wishing for a bit more, idk, depth? introspection? in this book. Many of the essays felt a bit superficial, like she didn't really dig into what she was talking about. Might be good for a younger audience though, because what she does talk about it pretty varied and is a lot about growing up/coming of age (and she's funny).
