I found I Won't Shut Up to be very insightful, as the advice that Ms Henny offers is applicable not only to anti-racism advocacy, liberation efforts, and the work of dismantling white supremacy from a Black woman's perspective, but to ALL aspects of any person's life. While this book is addressed directly to Black people, people of all races could benefit from reading it.
The style is casual, straightforward, and easy to understand. It's like you're just having a chat with the author, rather than reading an autobiography/textbook on how to find your voice, especially if you're a 'loud' Black woman. A lot of it centers around Ms Henny's religion as her faith is a deep part of who she is, but she's not preachy about that aspect.
I had originally joined Ms Henny's ARC team, which meant I received an ARC copy in addition to purchasing the 'final' version.
