I listened to this on audio and found it so helpful that I'm going to check out the print copy from the library. Zee Clarke includes lots of breathing techniques for when you're feeling overwhelmed seeing Black lives being taken on television, encountering racism and work microaggressions. I found her chapter on code switching helpful. I know I do it a lot, mainly because I'm tired of explaining what something means. Every Black person should read/listen to this.

This was interesting. At first I was annoyed by her flippant tone “the Black girl version of ‘Eat Pray Love’” merp.
But then I rapidly got over it when she started describing my life in exquisite detail. I felt seen. A book literally for me, discussing the issues I face every day. But also it seems a little counterintuitive to be told all your traumas are real and then try to breathe them away. I wish she had addressed that a little more instead of presenting it as trauma, fix!
I got this book from the library but maybe it would be better to own so you can use it as a reference later. Also the art is nice.
