Around the Way Girl

Why did I pick it up?

I picked up this book because I really like Taraji Henson and the various characters that she has played. I wanted to get a grasp of who she is as a person and who had a hand in making her that person. I wanted to understand her drive and what makes her want to hustle so hard. Also, I believe you can learn a lot about life through the lives of others.

Who would LOVE Around the Way Girl Anyone who loves, Taraji P Henson would love this book. I would also say minorities that are now entering the industry and wants an inside look as to what one could face.Are there illustrations? I do not think so. I listened via Audibles.Overall thoughts Overall, I really enjoyed listening to Taraji narrate this book. Side note, she speaks really fast and I had to slow the speed of the narration. However, it was usual Taraji style, raw and honest. You get a glimpse into the Taraji we all know and love. I would recommend.
