What does it mean to live in your skin as a Black woman in 2021? There is no one answer - but in this powerful, spellbinding audio special, there are 11, told by women ranging in age from 17 to 91.

If most of the places that say “black” were to be substituted with ANY other race, you’ll think it’s racist, too.

Quite racist

The fact that there were an array of women of all ages is beautiful. No story was the same and the will to be themselves even with accolades and accomplishments is astounding. Hopefully this can help me talk to my daughters to be unapologetically who they are.

Great listen

I enjoyed this book tremendously, this book resonates beyond color lines, age and where we as women are are in our lives. Although I am not African American and of Latin descent I of course was able to appreciate each story. I was raised however by African American women in my youth and I must say those years were the best in my life and hearing these stories made me think of all those wonderful women and made me see how we all are a thread in this beautiful masterpiece.

I love this book
