I usually don’t write reviews because I am afraid that I am not eloquent enough to fully describe how certain books impact me. So, this is not really a review, instead it is a thank you. To Mikki Kendall, who put her heart, experience and knowledge into a book that educated me and made me reevaluate myself and my privledge. Thank you for taking the time to write a book that could be recieved by so many audiences, and serve as a call to action for people like me who will never understand what it means to be a POC. As a cisgender white woman in America, I have to acknowledge my privledges and call myself out on remaining ignorant when my knowledge was lacking. This book will not be my only education on this topic, I promise you. I will continue to work towards becoming a better ally and accomplice to those whose lives are impacted by their socioeconomic background, color of their skin, sexuality and/or gender identity. I have to do more, and this book made that glaringly obvious. It is not enough to be a performative ally or feminist. I promise to hold myself accountable for any ignorance I still have, and work towards being a true ally. Once again, thank you Mikki Kendall for putting your time and heart into writing this book. I will forever cherish the knowledge that I have gained because of your writing, and will continue to work towards being a better person and accomplice to those who are not afforded the same privileges as I.

very well written. thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. however, having some level of education within the topics of the intersectionality of feminist theory and critical race theory I found this book a little repetitive. BUT I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs more teachings as this book will cover the surface of how various social/political/medical issues are impacted on the marginalized within our society. personally, I realize I am now wanting to look for books that focus on more specific topics so I can further my own education.

This was a lot of what I already knew and I know that this was written to educate white women. There were a few gems but I did start to skim towards the end.
