Loud Black Girls: 20 Black Women Writers Ask: What's Next? by Elizabeth Uviebinené, Yomi Adegoke
3.0
This is a great collection of essays by black women about their thoughts, their lives and what they would like people to know instead of stereotypes and misconceptions.
I will say I enjoyed the first half of the book much more than the second half, I do wonder if it might have been good to group the essays by similar themes or ideas, I ended up getting mixed up with who wrote what. That said, I learnt a lot while reading this, things I would never know from experience. As a white woman reading, it gave me more insight into what it means to be a black woman and reaffirmed why we need to make sure feminism is inclusive of all women and their experiences.
This was a 3.5 star read from me, worth a read!
