5.0

As a Black woman this book is healing and has depended my understanding of the world and myself. I think that this is a must read if you’re a Black woman. Although, I think everyone should read it. I liked how it was a reflective style writing that was a mix of being a memoir and sharing knowledge.

Jerkins writing is raw, accessible, and something that sticks with you. My brain spent a lot of time turning her writing over and over again. I truly hope she moves into long form content this book is a must read.

This is a really great essay collection. The essays are really personal and vulnerable. I particularly liked "Human, Not Black" and "Who Will Write Us?".
