I loved this. I feel like Robinson opened my mind to not only a bunch of pop culture stuffs I missed in the 90's but also to what it is like to be a black woman in America. Unlike most celebrity memoirs(? )Essay collections (?) Things they put out to squeeze more money out of the public(?) Unlike those books, which I tend to attempt, get frustrated by the actual lack of content, and then take a pass on; I felt like Robinson was really reaching out her hand, exposing a side of herself in the way that your best friend would and taking the time to educate. I feel enlightened about some things I have never thought about before. While an enjoyable read, I think I would have liked this even more as an audio book.
