There were parts that certainly haven't aged particularly well. I'm thinking of, "it felt presumptuous to appropriate a Black style for my own liberation," when she talks about her dreadlocks. I'm not saying she shouldn't have dreadlocks, I mean, the person who suggested her to do it was Black, so that certainly means something. However, she makes it worse by comparing the Black women rolling her hair into dreads with animals grooming each other. It's like, hmm, maybe just delete that line.

Generally, though, very raw and honest and good, and helped broaden my view of many spiritual things.
