This should be required reading in schools. I believe it would provide a safe space for open discussions and hopefully assist with the divisiveness that plagues the United States. More importantly, however, I think all political representatives (from local to national) should read this to understand the issues, as well as their roots, in hopes for better policymaking. Mikki Kendall requires introspection on your beliefs and actions to determine whether you’re a bystander, ally, or accomplice.

(I listened to the audiobook version.)
There wery many observations, ideas, and suggestions in this book that I found helpful for my own mindset, even when they might not have been completely new to me. It is important to note that this book does require you to be familiar with feminism, otherwise it is not as accessible. This is due to the fact that Kendall directs her words mainly to white mainstream feminists. I think anyone who considers themself a feminist should look into the ideas of this work and reflect upon them.

This is such an important read, so I really took my time with it. I’m happy that I’ve taken these weeks to read it little by little so I’m taking in the information and not just breezing through it. I found it to be super informative and super readable!
