This book by Raphael and Opeyemi Sofoluke gives us an insight to the struggle that people of color have to deal with that non-colored people do not. The author gives us various statistics, quotes from famous Black people like Michelle Obama, and numerous facts to prove her point of Black people having to work harder than the average white man or woman.
One of her examples was from a study done back in 2005 where scientist studied if a white name was more likely to get you a callback or job from a place you applied to work at. The studies result showed that yes, having a whiter name meant that you had better chances of getting the job. Other examples included not having any Black men or women at some of the top companies in the United Kingdom.
Twice as Hard goes on the give us an understanding of struggles Black people have and how to be successful as a person of color in this world.
Personally, I feel like this is a great book to read to give people an awareness of what other people have to go through just because of their race and color.
I can't wait to finish this book!
