This book was very relatable. I saw myself in this book and it made me cry. But it also made me want to keep striving because of how AA women are viewed in leadership roles or in spaces where we talk about race. I’m glad someone spoke up on your behalf during the meeting and reminded them that what happened was not your fault.

This was like listening to a friend of mine speak her mind. Telling me the truth, raw and difficult for both of us for different reasons. As a person of color I connected with many of the issues the author describes. Her memoir validates those feelings a person has when you’re wanting to protect yourself but it’s not received. It articulates very well the complexity of relationship building for people of color. But most importantly, the honest expression gives a chance for people of color to be understood. It’s one of the best books I have read and I recommend it to everyone.

You white people commenting racist stuff need to stop if you were in her body you wouldn’t be saying anything y’all need to grow up this is coming from a child

Growing up black must be so hard, with free college financial assistance from the federal government and preferential hiring/college admissions. Give me a break.

Racist blather.

Merely because it is well written dies not tell me why you liked it. What are some points that stood out to you? Have you never critiqued something before? Actual intellectual reasoning might help, you never know. I see the people who rated it low actually spelled out why! So I ask again, why should I read this?

I’m White and I am sick of this prejudice against my race.

I couldn’t put it down.

A well written book about experiences that many educated people of color face on a daily basis. I purchased this book on a whim without reading the synopsis and was not disappointed.
