Well, That Escalated Quickly: Memoirs and Mistakes of an Accidental Activist by Franchesca Ramsey

4.0

I enjoy Franchesca Ramsey's youtube videos, so it's not a surprise that I enjoyed her memoir as well. It covers her rise to fame, and how she learned to become an activist along the way, in the same sort of funny, friendly, pop culture style she uses in her Decoded videos. She's pretty humble and honest about her experience learning how to get woke, which makes it an accessible intro to social justice topics, complete with a glossary of terminology. If you've spent enough time in social justice circles on the internet, you're likely to know it already, but everyone needs to start somewhere, and Ramsey does a really good job being cool with people's journeys starting where they are, cuz that how she learned herself.
