This book was too powerful for me to be able to give a coherent review right after finishing it. I will say that as a white disabled queer woman, I am immensely grateful to learn these stories, struggles, and wisdom from QTBIPOC disabled community leaders and visionaries. I think this is the most important book I have read in years.

Essential reading. Some may say it isn't a comfortable introduction to Disability Justice but I think it's vital to experience that discomfort. As with learning more in any area of justice, putting current comfort levels over learning leads to further injustice, and (especially with something as temporary as being abled) is an enormous to everyone, currently disabled or not

This is the best book I’ve read this year. The writing is deeply compassionate thoughtful and challenging. I am grateful to have the opportunity to question and expand many of my long held understandings of the world and of myself. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha shared her experiences, vulnerability, strengths, and desires with a warm generous relatability. I wish everyone would read this. Highly recommended.
