The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl was an interesting book.  As a fan of Issa Rae from the show Insecure, I was excited to read this book, not knowing this book was written years before.  I love how she embraces her own awkwardness to center a Youtube channel around it.  Very entertaining and I am happy for all her success.  I learned many new things about her including a privileged Senagalese-American heritage.  While I can't relate to that, I definitely can relate to awkwardness with dating, dancing, and not feeling like I fit in with many situations.  I especially enjoyed the chapters on the different types of coworkers and black people.  It is what I chose to center my vlog on.  Fun, educational, and unique chapter.  I appreciate Issa Rae's experiences and look forward to continuing to following her career.
