Synopsis: The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first book by the TikTok and Spotify star Drew Afualo. 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call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and fight outdated patriarchal ideals.
