The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae

3.0

I like the Insecure show from Issa Rae so I thought I'd try the book about her precursor Internet show ABG. I love reading about people's backgrounds and how they got to where they are. This story is good but I find so many stories of early internet users hard. I'm grateful for the early adopters but I just cannot relate. I think this is a little reminiscent of the Girls narrative in which they were born in the 80s which was such a different experience that's so foreign to me. My hope is to listen and learn from them and I'll keep trying to find new voices.
