This book is pretty good for younger Black girls in their teens and maybe early 20s. It brings to light that Black women are a victim of the system and how society treats them, but also uplifts and helps those who need a helping hand and are unsure with life. Unfortunately I don't feel like it was made for me, but rather to educate others on what to do or how Black women are in life. I wanted more relatable experiences and stories but maybe the sequel will be better?
Despite me not being the target demographic for this books (white middle class woman) I found it very interesting and insightful into the lives of black women. It allowed me to gain an understanding of what black womenswear deal with daily. However saying that I didn’t think there were many tips for those women it was mostly a book explaining the struggles they already know they have? I guess if they are feeling alone this book Is somewhat comforting knowing they are not alone in these issues.

Really didn't enjoy this book. I think there are two potential target audiences...
1. White women who say they are 'listening and learning'
2. Younge Black girls/women still developing their knowledge and understands of the world
I don't fit either of these demographics. The content didn't feel like new information, it regurgitates things Black people have known for generations and the onl thing in the way of solutions was stories of women who have learned to be palatable to their White employers and business associates.

It felt more like the book was written for non-black people to understand what education and academia is like for black children to navigate, but didn’t feel like it was written for black girls and women. Reading it was unbelievably boring. I wish more black women would write for black women. I don’t need ten anecdotes that are essentially the same, yes girl I had that experience too can we either get into why that’s messed up or move on, but it felt like after reading the first few chapters, the book repeated itself
Too many reference points in this book to count. Aptly named The Black Girl Bible I’ll be leaning on Yomi and Elizabeth’s wisdom and the advice of their interviewees for years to come.
