Through amazing storytelling, Yewande highlights the richness in her culture that so many other black women can relate to. It was extremely gripping right from the beginning. \u003cbr\u003eThis book highlights the topics and issues we still face in our society daily, including some that I have struggled with myself. I think it is hugely important we keep having these conversations, and this book certainly helps do just that. \u003cbr\u003eReclaiming is comforting, yet inspiring. Yewande has admirably opened up about her experiences growing up and facing difficulties such as colorism and mental health problems, how she's so bravely overcome them and found her voice. I whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone mixed up in this complex generation looking for a relatable, authentic, and aspirational read. \u003cbr\u003eI absolutely loved it. I think it's clear to anyone who's read Yewande's earlier essay that she's a phenomenal writer and talent, and this is an incredible debut. \u003cbr\u003eEmpowering, instructive, loving \u0026amp; honest ... the kind of text that makes me excited to be a reader. \u003cbr\u003eI'm so proud of the strong, intelligent woman Yewande is. She is using her platform and own experiences to educate, inspire, empower, and to help others! \u003cbr\u003eReclaiming is more than just a book title. It's a statement. It's power. It's an announcement. It's a force I feel Yewande is making on behalf of all men and women of color.
