No, You Shut Up! /Symone D Sanders

Bold, brash, outspoken and smart, Symone Sanders is teaching a new generation to stand up. 

The title is a quote from Sanders after she was told to shut up on national TV. 

If you are struggling with getting your voice heard, this book is the perfect read for you. 

Just look at her credentials: currently a senior advisor on Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, a juvenile justice advocate, former CNN political commentator and former resident Fellow at two prestigious political schools. And she lives right in the middle of it all, Washington, DC. ‘Nuff said.

This book is filling my empty space right now...and you will only know what I mean, when you read this book. It has profoundly affected me. I should wait a few days before I write a review because it’s so raw. But here goes...

Elliot was a traveler, not in the global sense but in a cosmic sense. He was always ‘different’ as a child and he recognized it even then. His parents covered for him or refused to acknowledge it, his brother teased him and he had no friends to understand him, except maybe Esther.
After college he goes off to NYC to work as an accountant, not what he had planned. He meets two people in group therapy, and forms a deep bond with both. Kindred spirits.
Elliot goes on to have a life...
You will have to take my word for it that this book is worth reading. It is.
You will see in the photo that my hand is on this book. It’s because I am keeping it on my bookshelf for a while, not passing it on just yet. I know I will re-read it someday.
