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.

very informative and a must read for everyone. and even though the book is mostly centered around the USA, I think it can be applied to most other countries in the world too.

I love how the author used personal stories to support and give life to statistics. The audiobook was read by the author and you could feel her emotions coming though, very impactful.  The subtle and blatant call out of specific white “feminists” was almost cathartic. A very important book.
