It's important to have non-white children depicted as leaders, & their goals being more kindness & strength in diversity is an excellent theme.

But didactic stories written by celebrities just don't work for me, so I can't rate it higher. Sorry.

Amazing read. I learned so much about growing up as a Black girl, navigating life as a Black woman, raising Black boys and the bias and racism that she has faced as a Black actress. Incredibly moving and eye opening.

If I didn't already love and admire Gabrielle Union, this book here would do it! So honest and relatable with great stories and life lessons.

This kind of feels like a first date. I have that same feeling you get five minutes before you meet the other person, when you're giddy about where things might go. But also wary,. because you've been on enough bad dates to know exactly how this can go awry. They order the salmon and pronounce the L and you're like, How the hell has my life come to this?
