Publisher's summary

This program is read by the author.

The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first book by podcast star Drew Afualo.

Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her 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 first started creating content in 2020, she realized that men on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other apps were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.

Exactly what you want. Everything you need.

I knew I was going to love this book, but truly loved the sincerity of Drew’s story telling. It wasn’t forced, pandering or superficial. It felt like a great conversation with a good friend. She is so intelligent and deliberate with her words. I admire her ability to cut through the bullsh*t and still be empathetic. I loved having her talk me through her experiences and insights. A real girl’s girl.

Drew is the pioneer of modern day feminism

She brings you in with her cackles and jokes, and leaves you with the keys to live a life empowered by self sufficiency and confidence sans a man. I loved it, and got so much out of it even as a lesbian

Love

I started this book on a hike and boy am I glad I did. Drew is such an amazing story teller, her story and how she became the person she is today hits home. It was fun, funny, sad, infuriating, and informative.

One of the best reads of the year

I have read a lot of books this year and this one truly impacted my soul more than any other. I am going to read the physical copy so I can make notes and further my thoughts on them. Would recommend this book a thousand times.

Thank you for your service in serving justice to terrible man 🫡 I appreciated all of the stories - good and bad. Hearing them directly from you, provided additional layer of authenticity. It is truly unbelievable how important it is to have loving, supporting family.
