About this listen

Writer Kovie Biakolo became inspired to publish Conversations for Smart People while having rooftop drinks in Brooklyn with a few of her colleagues. In her classic uninhibited style, Kovie deftly weaves through such topics as: being a woman, growing up African, the meaning of beauty, and love. And of course the essay collection includes thoughtful commentary on sociopolitical issues--like race--that Kovie often finds herself discussing in her work. She hopes this audiobook will lend a different side of the story while also encouraging readers to engage in cultural discourse together in a meaningful way.

Aside from the (far too short) chapters on white privilege and "Why Every Girl Needs Role Models Who Look Like Her," this book is nothing but an increasingly annoying string of the author's personal resentments, pet peeves, deeply rooted insecurities, grudges, childhood traumas and other ego-centric naval gazing. And the only "Smart" thing about it is that she tricked us into paying to hear her whine instead of paying to see a therapist.
