Shayla Lawson narrates her collection of autobiographical essays, adding a layer of depth and personalization to her tales of Black girlhood and womanhood. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb talk about her compelling insights on topics as far-ranging as microaggressions at work, American Girl dolls, or the idiosyncrasies of Twitter. Her narration is as varied as the essays, reflecting their topics with her nuanced delivery and making this an audiobook a true pleasure to listen to. Published by Harper Audio.
