This book is a masterpiece and I am currently wiping away my tears. It perfectly encapsulates the struggles of being a Black girl revolutionary in a space that ignores intersectionality and continues to subscribe to patriarchy despite calls for liberation. It addresses so many pressing issues like bodily autonomy, intersectionality, and navigating relationships. If I had this book back in high school, I could’ve been having these conversations a LOT sooner. I love this!
