I changed my review from three to four stars after reflecting on this for some time. I am a young millennial. I will never be a Black millennial, so I will never ever know the experiences written about here.

The stories here are told well and claims are backed up by impeccable research. The book didn’t quite master the balance between academic writing and popular consumption writing, in my mind, but maybe that’s the point. Maybe the book itself is showing the balance that Black millennials have to achieve in their lives.
