        Author, artist, and "multihyphenate creative" Ealey examines and shares her decolonization journey as she strove to find a common language around race, which became a starting point for ongoing self-examination and discussion. Rather than concise definitions, Ealey uses information from experts along with her own experiences to examine terms like allyship, privilege, the prison industrial complex, and the wealth gap, plus the subtle positives and challenges of using the acronym BIPOC. Reflection questions at the end of each section encourage readers' contemplation; bold illustrations by Ealey appear on most pages. VERDICT An informative blend of personal experience and historical perspective, useful for most readers.
