5.0

This is DEFINITELY a Top 5 book of the year for me. Highly recommend, 5/5. Especially if you are a BIWOC. It was an interesting combo of autobiography and discussions/analysis of the "-isms." Each of the 10 chapters is about a topic like "colorism" or "white fragility" or "the male gaze" and then the author talks about her experiences with each and more broadly how they impact BIWOC.

Her writing style is so intimate and vulnerable with such clear and gorgeous prose. She mentions that she wants to make these topics and these discussions accessible to everyone, outside of the gatekeeping of academia so it's written in a very straightforward manner and so powerful as a result.

Truly fantastic, can't say enough postitive things about this book. I want to gift this book to all my pals.
