Know My Name by Chanel Miller
Audiobook, read November 2020
This memoir is harrowing and hopeful, and I chuckled out loud and I cried, and it’s incredible to see how such a terrible thing can be shaped into something that will change hundreds of lives, and reach millions more. I hate that the burden of changing oppressive systems is on the oppressed, but God I am in awe of the people who fight those fights. I am in awe and I am grateful from the very pit of my being, because I am full of excuses for why I don’t or can’t fight. I am in awe and I am grateful for this book.
