Book yellowface There are several aspects of this book that I love Firstly the writing has a unique musical rhythm to it Secondly the book is not just about Emma Lee but also about influential people especially in the music industry It sheds light on Tupac Shakur s life and the dream he started Readers also get to meet Tupac s mother a woman worth knowing much about Thirdly I appreciate that Emma doesn t forget her roots in Africa and occasionally indulges readers about Uganda I also admire the fact that Emma has decided to be true to herself She writes When I second guess or feel coerced to be less than myself I often think of women like Afeni Nina Simone Josephine Baker Lena Horne Eartha Kitt Miriam Makeba Hazel Scott and Winnie Mandela who remained themselves embraced their true identities stood against odds and influenced generations beyond them This is a must read book for anybody ready to make a change in their lives 336
