Drew Afualo is best known as the internet's "Crusader for Women" and has established herself as a preeminent feminist leader of her generation. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind Afualo's fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves. Afualo has amassed more than nine million followers across her social platforms. When she started creating content in 2020, she quickly realized that many men on social media were disparaging women and other marginalized groups with rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, having very real-life consequences. It didn't take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny. Her signature laugh is now a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of "terrible men" and fight outdated patriarchal ideals., Just like a heat-seeking missile. I Target awful men who attack marginalized people on the internet for no reason and I never miss. FYI, Terrible men will degrade women and then fold like a lawn chair when I respond to them with silly-ass retorts. I want them to know there are consequences to treating people in ways that are harmful or problematic, and so that's what I like to think of myself as: a tangible consequence. It's okay if you want to be mad. It's okay if you want to yell back, and it's okay if you want to be bitch to men who are disrespectful to you or anyone around you. You have every right to feel the way that you do and express it in whatever way suits you best. I can't give you my self-confidence, but I can help you realize how important it is to stand up for yourself. And I can't give you my cackle, but I can make you laugh, and I plan to do so often. So while I continue to stay firmly plented on the necks of terrible men, this very text will be my guide and companion for you to work on the most important relationship of all: the one with yourself.Intended Audience:TradeBook Title:Loud : Accept Nothing Less than the Life You Deserve
