It's easy to tell that Millennial Black has been thoroughly researched. It is packed full of statistics, interviews and examples of where Black woman stand in the workplace.
However, I almost DNF'd it after 30% because I was finding it extremely depressing and discouraging to read the very long and very exhausting list of all the ways Black women struggle to achieve more success in life.
Why did I as a Black woman need to read a book that tells me all the ways society fails me? I live it everyday.
That being said, I found an audiobook copy with my library and was able to get through all the statistics to find some of the helpful, more engaging tips, especially towards the last half. The interviews with well known Black British women and quotes were brilliant insights too.
Ideally, Millennial Black should be read by anyone with opportunities and privileges, who can help advocate and change the hierarchies and break the barriers in the workplace.
If that's not you, you will still find useful information here too but you will definitely have to wade through the glum facts of life first.
Thank you to HQ and NetGalley for the e-arc to review.
