This is a collection of memoir essays about the author’s life as a disabled Black woman.
I hope the people who need to hear her message of working toward self acceptance and choosing to live find this book. This book would be appropriate for a younger audience, YA non-fiction.
I also hope her next book has a much better editorial team, who is dedicated to making the author’s stories shine.

Just not my cup of tea. I'm also disabled and enjoy hearing other experiences from disabled people, but I just have little interest in a lot of the things that the author cares deeply about. Also a bit repetitive. Should maybe have been edited more so that the essays had less repetition.

These essays are powerful and eye-opening. I'm glad I read this and I'm glad for Keah Brown. She seems like an amazing human being.

I’m glad that I picked up this book. It’s clear to me that Brown is an interesting person, clearly well-rounded with a extra strong love of pop culture. There is much to be learned from someone who is so able to explain their own identity/situations/life through popular culture moments that much larger groups of people understand. However, multiple essays felt too disjointed and too repetitive. Perhaps better editing would be helpful, or maybe if I was younger it would have spoken more too me. Will still look for Brown’s future works.

Fun audiobook! I enjoyed listening to the author read. It got a little repetitive, but I enjoyed it. The title essay was very well written & well read; I found myself tearing up a bit.
