This book is the definition of mixed feelings.
I liked:
- The style; she alternated between giving a speech formal tone, and casual day-to-day tone which gave the book a relatable feel.
- Parts about empowering women, especially motherhood and the torturous path of a woman of color towards success.
- Parts about social change, especially female empowerment and diet changes.

I didn't like:
-Using the book as a platform to send political hits, even tho she mentioned continuously that she didn't believe or is not actively involved in politics.
- Making petty comments trying to defend herself against past political attacks.
- Not enough vulnerability, when needed. Don't get me wrong, I know she's a strong woman, but if we wanted to hear about achievements or moments of strengths, we would've watched the news.
