A great, nuanced commentary on the "brown" experience, with personal perspectives from the author woven in alongside.

‘You will grow up having to fight people with ignorant non-arguments, people who insist that there is no problem, and you will learn that you can’t persuade everyone. But you deserve to be able to speak your truth, and you deserve to be heard. So keep calling out every piece of bullshit that doesn’t feel right to you, whether it’s political, social or cultural’.
Being a Sociology Geek, I Enjoyed the Sociology Aspects in this Book. But The Author Focused more on the Negatives than the Positives. The chapters were way too Long and I would have Loved to know more abt her story since it’s called ‘Brown Girl Like Me’. I was Expecting a lot when I got into this but it kinda put me in a slump. It’s wasn’t all Bad but It wasn’t Groundbreaking either.

Really enjoyed this comprehensive look at the challenges and pressure of being a brown woman today. This book really made me feel seen and heard.
