Thank you to the publisher & author for an ARC - I'm providing an honest review on my own accord.
I think this is required reading for anyone who claims to be invested in allyship, advocacy, and wanting to foster a better world.
No actually, I just need *everyone* to read this book! Oluo provides examples of folks who are already doing such incredible work, ranging from education to housing to the media, every day whether the actions *feel* small or big. They are contributing to building the society that they believe in, and this is because of their strong roots in hope and faith that change is possible.
I will absolutely buy my own copy on pub day. The content warnings below are topics that are delved into, not beliefs that are held by folks featured in the book. When you are actively learning about and fight systems of oppression, we have to name them and acknowledge what exactly we are fighting, so I just wanted to clarify why I put those content warnings there.
