I loved the connections to pop culture and the sharing of the author's experience. I learned a lot, but also felt like I was having a conversation with someone, and really enjoyed the read.

Part memoir and part interrogation of black feminism. I found this quick and enjoyable.

I really loved this book. It gave an air of Mikki Kendal and Brittany Cooper in half the audio time. She was straight to the point without being dull. I really could identify with so much she talked about in ways I originally never expected. Very good book. Definitely a black girl book club read.

The random prison boo detour was annoying to me.

I loved reading this book as a black woman. I appreciated every chapter and it felt so genuine. The she sectioned the book, added moments from pop culture and her own life made the book engaging. I think all Black people should read this.

In this book, author Hubbard explores that ethos around the concept of a "ride or die" woman and how it negatively impacts Black women through extended mental effort, the myth of the Black superwoman, and many more ways detailed throughout. The text reads as part memoir, part nonfiction essay and I personally liked the flow. I thought the chapters were well organized and her analysis of her personal experience and outside documentation got her ideas across very effectively. I love a good memoir and this one did not disappoint. I'd absolutely recommend this book!
