Finding Tamika by Erika Alexander
5.0
Less of a audiobook and more of a verbal retelling of a tragic story about a young black woman. Gripping and heartbreaking what her family has had to endure. Eye opening to the amount of young black women who are overlooked by the media. We failed her. I've told everyone I know on a journey to educate themselves about what it is to deal with racism and being black in America to listen to the book. A kick in the ass about the work we still need to do.
Side note, I really enjoyed the author's trigger warnings throughout the book. At the beginning of sections that would have topics that would endanger someone's peace of mind (topics including abuse, self harm etc), she advised that the topic would be included. We need more author's like this. Bravo.
