So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo

emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced

Incredible book that breaks down systemic racism in a way that's to the point but not mean. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about and help fight against systemic racial oppression.

I absolutely adored this book! I haven't read a book in years because it's hard for me to keep my attention on something but this book always had me reeled in. Such good messaging in it too. And I LOVED most of the main and supporting characters! There was so much to love! I 100% recommend this to anyone who wants a heartwarming magical adventure tale. I did get teary eyed but all in all, it left me with a good feeling overall.
