I loved how some of Kenya's essays connected different topics together in a way I had never considered before. One of her essays connects the Unite the Right rally in 2017 to Meghan Markle and Harry leaving the royal family in 2020. Juxtaposing those two things made me think about them in a new light. I really like that.
Her essay on activism is also really great. She highlights the shortcomings of social media activism and talks about some of the activism she's seen that has made a big difference.
I also loved her essay on motherhood. She talks about her abortion, births, and miscarriages, and she describes her emotional states so vividly. She also situates her experiences within a larger context of the experiences of Black pregnant people.
So many of the essays are amazing. I definitely recommend this one.
