Honestly this book was very relatable and i found myself resonating and agreeing with multiple points mentioned. This book really highlights and pulls out points and problems black women have to grow up and deal with and opening the discussion that was often closed and looked down upon.

This book had been on my TBR for a long time and I’m happy I finally opened it up! It was extremely enlightening to me as a white women and made me see things from a different perspective. I feel motivated to continue reading from authors of different backgrounds to broaden my views and learn more. 

Danielle was extremely vulnerable and open. She was relatable to all women while keeping the emphasis on her blackness. She talks about many struggles in her life and how they all connect. She makes the intersectionality’s very clear and uses both nostalgic and preset references to pop culture that help make her point. I will be looking up her other books!
