She’s just so good at explaining things in clear, concise ways that are nonetheless emotionally moving, I feel like it would be very difficult to come away from this book not having gleaned anything from it. Of all the antiracism books I’ve read in the past several years, I would say this would be the best place to start, if you’re not sure, or if you have a relative or friend who is looking for a place to start. The fact that I was listening to her words only enhanced that feeling. I already felt like Ijeoma Oluo was giving me that same feeling I loved about being at university, where you could sit in a room with someone who not only Knows Their Shit, but who is talented at giving that knowledge to others in a way that’s impactful, and just absorb. Anyway, the audio was great, and reading it in that format enhanced the experience, for sure. She has like, one thousand pages of audio credits on Audible (I’m exaggerating, but it’s a lot). Somehow I’ve never listened to a book narrated by Bahni Turpin before, but she was fantastic, and I hope she narrates something else I want to read in the near future. This day, I’m going to half-ass some things about this awesome book I read last month but have been avoiding reviewing.Ī thing that I can say with confidence is that the audio version is great. One of these days I will find a way to successfully and reliably write reviews for books that mean a lot to me, but that is not this day.
