So simple but relatable. Practical advice and tips on how to follow through, which is often what advice is missing. Some heartbreaking moments and others funny. Recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"In order to reconcile the way oppressed people are treated with their idea of a just world, people think, 'Oh, well, she may have said something awesome, to deserve getting hit.'..." I appreciate that Walker doesn't shy away from these truths of our society in her discussion of mental health issues.
