A mini-memoir that spawned from folks inviting Okorafor to give talks but not making their spaces accessible for her. If you're a major Okorafor fan like me, it's quick and worth the read.

I have loved this author's books and I loved to learn more about her life which helps to explain her perspectives on her stories and characters.

An inspiring read that really resonated with me. Sci-fi and fantasy author Okorafor details the summer when she went from star tennis player to becoming paralyzed from the waist down after surgery to correct her severe case of sclerosis. Throughout her recovery, she details how she felt betrayed by science and started her journey as an award-winning author.

Can't. Put. Together. 

I dont know why but I had a different image in my head for where this book was going to take me. Okorafors story is wild and brave, and what I wanted was more on the creativity side which has present but didn't hook me. Amazing what she did, but the book wasn't for me.
