Slay in Your Lane Presents: Loud Black Girls by Elizabeth Uviebinené, Yomi Adegoke
4.0
This is a book I felt like I needed to read.
Touching on many topics such as white supremacy, white saviours, micro aggression, the patriarchy and many other things - and told from 20 black women in captivating essays!
These essays challenge the perceptions that the world has of black women and people. They question: “why do you call us this?” and “why do you say that?”
It’s a call for us to check ourselves, and allow black voices to rise up. As well as make way for a time of no more “first black woman to...”, but herald all the achievements that black women are continuously doing.
