I listed to this one on audio. Tobia highlights what it was like growing up in NC (Raleigh area, which I went to college & lived in the area for several years). Tobia came out as a teen and then when he went to college (at Duke) he realized he was a gender nonconformity non-binary person. He discusses issues like tokenism, power structures (ie universities like Duke) which hold up systems that make it difficult for individuals like them as well as

ncsufoxes to make it through all the obstacles that can be in place. They also brought up the struggles they faced with their parents in understanding their identity. They discussed writing this book to help others share their stories since non-binary, trans, & nonconformity stories are not widely shared. It is important to hear others stories‘ as they write their truths. #bookspin book, #nomfiction2023 prompt: True Colors 2y

I felt conflicted with this book. I listened to it on audio, read by the author. Sometimes I disliked listening to her drone on about her work (felt like some of the details were way to much & didn‘t add anything to the story other than OMG look at me I worked at Vanity Fair). Other times I could really feel for her & what she experienced. I couldn‘t imagine being conned by some one that was my age & just starting out as an adult, not something

ncsufoxes You would think could happen to you. I think what turned this into a pick was basically that she got dragged through the mud by Netflix & in the end Anna Delvy is a well known person despite how horrible she is. I thought she brought up an interesting point about who becomes influential & the power we can give people. #bookspin book #nomfiction2023 prompt: So What? 2y
