challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring medium-paced

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.
