A powerful and moving collection of essays. Shame is real, resilience is a good thing, but hope and joy and love are even stronger things.

So extremely powerful and a must-read. I loved this book. Some essays have strong content and language warning. So many of my favorite authors contributed here. Jason Reynolds and Yolo Akili Robinson's essays surprised me with how powerful they were.

Regardless of whether you like Brene Brown or not, give this one a go! I listened to this one on audio because I knew with the authors/essayists here that would be the way to go and then also read it.
