- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great I love it so much.
Well done.
Lively I recommend like genre of this audio books. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5First the narrator was awesome. This book open my mind and my eyes. No doubt as a woman we have had our fare share of struggles but more as Black women and I am glad that was pointed out as well as the fact that we strive to overcome. Some of the women in this I have watched as a child thinking they were privileged, but they had to fight the same fight I did as a Black Jamaican woman in America. Well written. I enjoyed every chapter.
