You Are Your Best Thing

This is not the kind of book that I want to rate on a 5-star scale. Edited by Brene Brown and Tarana Burke, this collection of essays creates space for black writers to be vulnerable, and for me to put a rating on someone's vulnerability feels incredibly wrong. These essays range from deeply personal to more academic, but each one tells the unique story of the author, and each one sheds shame by claiming vulnerability as cleansing and powerful. I'm not the primary audience for this book, but nonetheless, found it impactful and insightful. Absolutely worth a listen.
