3.5 stars. I followed Feminista Jones and her tweets regularly while I was in grad school - but not much now since I am mostly social media free. I believe that Feminista Jones wanted to situate Black women activists (via social media) within a long history of Black feminism. I felt like this was more pronounced in the first chapters and then really centered on her own activism and that of her close friend and colleagues in the later chapters. I think a more accurate description of this book as a memoir of the social media activism of Feminista Jones would have been more appropriate. Instead, it read as though the author was inserting herself into every key social media moment (even if partly true) - billing this as a memoir of sorts would have helped. Additionally, I didn't particularly enjoy the interviews interspersed in the chapters though I see how it might help those unfamiliar with the topics or people mentioned. I think this is a good read for someone wanting an overview of Black feminist activism via social media.

If you’ve been on Twitter from 2010 to today, you likely have some knowledge of #BlackTwitter. We come with the jokes, memes and hella knowledge. ✊
