"This book came out just after the wake of the senseless deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor. As a woman of color, I'm finding the book to be so relevant and validating to some of my own experiences, but also as an educational read specifically about the tangible effects of everyday systemic racism Black people face. It challenges all of us to be actively part of dismantling racism and other oppressive -isms that impact our communities."
