What a memoir

Revisado: 05-28-23

This is a beautifully narrated memoir, and the weight of her story is so heavy and moving. I loved this book. As a fellow thespian, I appreciated her journey and brutal honesty about the love of the business. Viola Davis is a force and thank you for your vulnerability in telling your story. Phenomenal. Thank you. Sincerely, one of the 99% that is no longer in the business.

An in depth look at the Black Woman experience in America

Revisado: 03-18-23

Thank you, Treva, for writing this and sharing your personal experiences with us as well. I can’t imagine the toll it took on you to write this, as it was extremely wearing for me as I listened. I had to take frequent breaks because the stories are heavy, and it is a reminder of how quickly these stories move or are non existent in the news cycles. A must read to gain a clear understanding of the impacts of these systems on Black women and our mental, emotional, physical health and socioeconomic status.

Necessary read to preserve democratic values

Revisado: 12-26-22

Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s analysis of the authoritarian playbook is a necessary read as we (those of us in the United States) experience an extremist far right GOP pushing these tactics in order to maintain power in our country. It is timely, and terrifyingly insightful. We cannot stop, and we must activate to preserve democracy for future generations.

This is why education is important

Revisado: 08-26-22

People won’t read this book and they should. Any legislator or judge need to read this book. The data is all there. You should trust women to make their own decisions. Period. Thank you for this study.

An untold history

Revisado: 08-14-22

This book simply shows that multiple things can be true, and providing accurate context for the plight of Black Americans is necessary to see any type of substantial “racial progress”, thank you Nikole Hannah-Jones and all its contributors, for this book.

What an amazing read!

Revisado: 01-25-22

This book brought you to the intersectionality of a queer black woman and physics, and what it means to be a scientist in a heteronormative cisgender, racist, patriarchal society. Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s experiences really resonated with me and I thought it was brilliant, how she tied these issues to the study of the cosmos. The piece that stuck with me was how we have to find inspiration out there even when there is so much bad happening to us. Thank you for this book.

All white people should read this.

Revisado: 04-23-19

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it provides a very frank analysis of white fragility. I have learned so much from the nuances of white attitudes and racism and how to hold white people accountable. Great listen!

One of my favorite books!

Revisado: 03-07-19

I haven’t read this book in over a decade and fell in love with the story all over again. Such an amazing story of love, regret, lies, and seeking redemption. I love this story. It makes me cry every time.
