This book was eye-opening and incredible. There are many topics with which I was familiar, but it was a great learning experience for me to be able to learn about them from a BIPOC individual, as those are the individuals who are suffering the most at the hands of these atrocities.
I really loved that each chapter was structured so that we got to read a personal anecdote from her life, which progressed into an explanation of what the topic could look like from another's point of view, and finally to what actions we could take to either fight the issue or incite change.
This book is an incredibly valuable resource, and one I will think about for a long time. I plan to purchase a copy of my own (I borrowed it from the library for this first read) so I can mark it up and refer back to it frequently. This book is a must-read; everyone can learn something from it.
