At this point in my life/feminist education I found the book to be not the most impactful, but I KNOW for a fact that this book would have been life changing if I had my hands on it in high school when I was first introduced to feminism (instead of the very white feminist book I did have access to, which still did change my life at the time, but my hope is that Hood Feminism becomes the norm for that role).

Some things I did learn:
1. The Black children are perceived as older than they are
2. That 'fierce' isn't the compliment I thought it was
3. To focus on being an 'accomplice' over an ally.

A great book for confronting White Feminism in yourself if you've never done that before, and a good reminder for those of us that have already been trying to confront these things.
