5.0

This book was too powerful for me to be able to give a coherent review right after finishing it. I will say that as a white disabled queer woman, I am immensely grateful to learn these stories, struggles, and wisdom from QTBIPOC disabled community leaders and visionaries. I think this is the most important book I have read in years.

I read the first half of this book really slowly--like, over the course of several months. The second half moved much more quickly for me, and I found it more engaging. But really overall I think this book is amazing and I would definitely recommend it. For people not in radical leftist spaces, the writing might be a bit of an adjustment, but I think this is a useful and important read for anyone, regardless of their background or relationship to disability. I'm glad I read it, and thankful for Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's work to write it.
