Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve by Drew Afualo

Go to review page

emotional funny informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

Drew never misses and this book is no exception. To be completely honest, Loud is officially my bible. This will be a constant reread, and I will be immediately purchasing copies for my Mom, sister & best friend.
I could not be happier that I got a fucking signed edition of this for myself!!!!!!

I would recommend this (and all of Drew’s content) to literally anyone and everyone I know.
A quick read but an excellent insight into misogyny, racism & capitalism, with Afualo’s humour and strong voice consistently throughout. This book has inspired me to use my voice as much (and as loudly) as I can and to fully embrace being a “bitch”
Drew, whatever you do next, I’m here for it
