Woman of Color

I'd never heard of LaTonya but this book caught my eye when I was browsing so I gave it a shot. I really enjoyed this book: it was a quick read which I liked (read it the day I bought it). LaTonya didn't give the reader a bunch of filler, it was just like talking to a cool girlfriend about life, family, style, etc. The photos are really interesting and well-chosen. The fashion advice was great, not over the top at all. Definitely two thumbs up!

I just finished it after forcing myself to not rush through it in a day (I could have easily read it all in one day because each page was better than the next) LaTonya is such a gifted writer! Hers is the only “mommy” type blog that I actually follow and I always knew there was so much beneath the surface and then the book showed that there was way more than I even expected. It was really really really wonderful. I hope she has many more in the pipeline ❤️

I've been reading LaTonya's blog for years, so I was thrilled to hear that she was coming out with a book! Even though I tried to read it as slowly as I could, I devoured it super quickly :) it's a series of vignettes about her life growing up, motherhood, style, and her identity struggling with vitiligo. very approachable and well-written. i loved it!

I just finished reading Woman of Color. I read it in two sittings. I could have read it in one, but I had to go to bed so I could wake up for work the next day! It’s that good. I did not want to put it down. This book captures the LaTonya’s spirit and her experiences and it is also a source of inspiration. I closed this book and feel as if I’ve gained so many insights that I still need to sit with and unpack.

The book is great! It did not come with a cover! The book is colorful, informative & love the vintage pictures! I am so looking forward to read this book. I was hoping to be on a beach reading this book. Well, maybe in the back yard near the fire pit!

LaTonya has created a wonderful, moving, and intimate portrait of her life and experiences. Without being too preachy or melodramatic, this book offers insight into the private life of a Black mother, friend, sister, writer, and genuine soul. Her voice is deep yet completely accessible, and the photos included bring everything to life. This book can be read in one sitting, and is incredibly satisfying. Highly recommend!

The perception is that the book was about different women, but it's about only one. Other than that it's good material to read.

LaTonya Yvette’s memoir is so beautifully written and celebrates the inner and outer beauty of black women in a way that is both soothing and refreshingly approachable and honest. She writes with the poise of an author wiser beyond her years. Definitely a must read for anyone looking for a soulful rendering of life as a contemporary black woman who’s come into her own. Especially insightfully are the interviews she does with other woman of color on various topics ranging from beauty to loss. Well done LaTonya!

Such a beautiful and thoughtful book. The guestfeatures and lovely gems of knowledge are awesome. Purchased one for my mom and sister as well. Lovely coffee table book too.

I was truly excited for this book to arrive! It’s beautiful, inspiring and filled with energizing feminine energy!

Beautiful book, wonderful read. This is life qunitisentially! LaTonya proves that ordinary life is amazing - you don’t have to have it all or constantly travel to far away places for it to be wonderful, and she showcases this masterfully. I have learned so much about womanhood, motherhood, family, life, feeling comfortable in my own skin, and of course, color! Buy it for yourself, for friends and family!

Cute coffee table book that’s all I can say I love the cover

I love this book. I read the first half in one sitting and only stopped because I wanted to savor it more. LaTonya Yvette’s voice is so true and her writing beautiful, even about difficult topics. She shows such courage sharing her story with the world, even from the evolving position of young mother. She’s relatable, funny, and candid. Buy this book!

LaTonya writes as if you are a close friend, sitting next to her on a stoop in Brooklyn. You want nothing more than the stories to go on longer. You feel her pain and share in her joy. It's insightful, heart warming and beautifully celebrates woman of color.

I feel like I know LaTonya Yvette personally after reading. Love the photographs, too!

This book speaks to every women, I absolutely enjoyed it. Finished it in a day, I honestly couldn’t put it down. There were so many moments that were so relatable. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the book, she's a great writer

I could put the book down. I loved the photographs, the stories. I loved everything about this book. I learned about LaTonya from the book "Styling for Instagram" and I immediately became intrigued by her beautiful photos and children. I'm the mother of biracial children as well so I loved her journey and story so much. This book is great rear for every woman of color, artist, creative love this book.

Please buy this book!!! This is a must have!

A great read. I very much recommend this for any woman.
