dustyshell 's review for:

You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability, Shame Resilience, and the Black Experience by Tarana Burke, Brené Brown

2.0

---

I wanted to love this book, but I didn't. I looked forward to reading the anthology of black voices, but rather than this having the power of shining a light on the black experience and how shame can envelop so much of the lives of the community, it was (in my opinion) more an activist chant for things outside of that. It also generalized greatly. Black people are not a monolith.
