While I'm not the target audience, I enjoyed listening to these short essays and learning more about the Black experience.

(Note: this review comes from the point of view of a white person)

This is the first anthology I've read that I loved every. single. entry. Sometimes words are inadequate to describe the journey certain books take you on. This hit me hard, but most importantly gave a voice to so many powerful Black people that deserve all our attention and offered so much needed hope, healing and love.
