Obviously: Stories from My Timeline by Akilah Hughes

4.0

Thank you to Penguin Teen for the free book! | I'd heard about Akilah from my YouTube days, and after listening to her episode on Bad on Paper, I was really curious to check out her book. It's a collection of essays about her experiences growing up as a young, black kid in the south, and also about how she found her career path. I really enjoyed reading this and it's a great book to dip in and out of. I liked hearing her stories and the impression I took away from this is that she seems like she'd be super fun to hang out with (and her mom sounds awesome too)!
