A review by sarahscupofcoffee
Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho

5.0

I have a hard time reviewing nonfiction because I don’t read a lot of it. However, I loved Acho’s YouTube series and had to read this. It’s available on Scribd and it’s definitely worth a listen.

Each chapter starts with a question and the answers were enlightening. He divulges history and lists a bunch of resources at the end of each chapter, too.

This book is not easy to listen to if you’re white, but I would consider it a mandatory read. If you’re not into nonfiction (same), Acho writes it as if he’s literally having a conversation over coffee with you. It does not read like a textbook.

I learned a ton while reading this book and I’m sure you would, too. Want to face your own biases? This book is a great place to start.
