Shanita Hubbard uses this book to explain how the concept of being a Ride or Die is harmful to Black women. The book breaks down the many ways that being a Ride or Die causes pain and suffering for Black women and provides ways in which Black women, and the Black community as a whole, can better protect and appreciate Black women.

This was a great read for Black women. The author tackled so many important topics such as: medical racism, homophobia, police violence against Black women, and the responsibility of Black men to do better by us. I feel like a lot of BLACK MEN need to read this book! Black women too obviously because the book was written for us, but it would be especially insightful for Black men who want to do better by Black women. With an easy flow to the writing, this book touched on a myriad of topics that need to be talked more openly about in our community.

I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to recommend it to other people within our community. Black women are the most disrespected group in the world and anyone who wants to see our point of view and do better by us should read this book! 

Thank you Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for this arc. All opinions are my own.
