This was my first Pocket Change Collective book and I love and appreciate their mission. This is What I Know About Art tracks one black woman's experience through the NYC art world and her drive to help make it more accessible and inclusive. 

While I think the narrative could have benefitted from a few more pages and even more of her experiences, I loved reading about Drew and what she had already done to foster change.

I think this would be a good, if highly cursory and introductory, text for someone to read if they're still in camp "art/reading isn't political." No rating as I don't think I'm the correct audience for this book. Though, I was hoping for a comparable level of insight as the other book I read in from this Pocket Books collection: Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon.
