It does not mean that I agreed with her on all counts. I had different opinion on several things - I believe each country (U.S.A.) needs to try and solve their own problem before meddling into another country's issues (continent in this case: Africa). I don't think it's easy for everyone to pronounce names from other languages. I do not get offended when someone mispronounces my name. I often come to their rescue.

I received this book just in time for my trip. I read it within a matter of a day or two and thoroughly enjoyed it.

T and I understand you don't have it in your language. I can't say names in Greek, Russian, German, and several African languages even when I try and I hate to butcher them. "I'm Judging You" by Luvvie Ajayi
Nothing the less, I thoroughly enjoyed her views on several issues. In fact I would definitely be referring back to it as she had make some interesting observations about society and backed them up with logic and a case for humanity. I would highly recommend you pick up and add it to your reading list.
