Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More

I've been meaning to read this memoir for a long while and when I saw it was on audible, narrated by Janet Mock herself I couldn't pass it up.

The core of this book is Janet describing her coming of age, a journey she takes us through with gorgeous prose and a refreshingly honest depiction of what her life was like from the time she was a young girl gradually becoming more and more comfortable with herself and doing whatever she could to be true to herself.

It's a great read, Janet's life story one that deserves and begs to be heard, one that gives insight into an experience we don't often see told.

Now in regards to the audiobook itself I couldn't have been happier. Janet has a voice that's wonderful to listen to and an enthusiasm and emotional truth to the way she not only writes but speaks as well.

I couldn't have chosen a better book to start 2016 with and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future of Janet's writing career. And in the meantime I know this will be a book I'll want to come back to and experience for years and years to come.

Thank you so much Janet for sharing your journey!

I enjoyed the book, completely relatable to my story as a transgender woman of color

I found so much depth and honesty in this story. I wish I knew Janet in person. Her strength and realness was a gift and her mellifluous voice was a blessing. She guided the reader (as if holding your hand like a big sister would) as she described such challenging realities. Thank you Janet, and thank you for this next generation of kids who face their own challenges.

Beautifully written journey spoken in Janet's own voice! This book helped me get closer to myself, and to heal past wounds and judgments I still carried on my path to womanhood. Janet has given voice to many women like us or "#GirlsLikeUs" and by telling her story we now know how to unapologetically tell our own.

I really appreciate Janet Mock for narrating her memoir. She shines light on an experience than many people try to silence.

Loved it... Im not Trans. I learned a lot about being Trans though. I suggest that you listen intently.

Captivatingly honest social critique, biography and introduction to modern intersectional feminism. A MUST READ

Janet Mocks story speaks to me personally as a trans woman. Her story depicts the unbelievable issues in the LGBT community and reassures the readers (or in this case, listeners) that it gets better.

5 stars for this beautiful and inspiring piece

Her story is powerful. Her reading of it is eloquent. I cried and yelled back at her younger self often throughout. I couldn't recommend this any higher, weather to find some connection as a woman, Cis or Trans, or to broaden your experience as anyone else.

I bought this book during the audio sale. I had no idea who Janet Mock was. I read the reviews and once I listened I was blindsided by the topic and the story. I couldn't stop listening. I usually listen to health and nutrition books. This was refreshing and gave me great insight and empathy to her story.
