Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars, with more than nine million followers across her social platforms. She soon realized that men on social media 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.

Loud is part manual, part manifesto and part memoir. It is a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of terrible men and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals. Above all, it makes it clear that behind Drew’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 centre of how women and fems think about themselves.

I expected nothing less from Drew

Heartfelt, funny, honest - Drew really did something with this book. I loved it and finished it within a few days. Having Drew read it herself really adds to it too. Would recommend to any of my friends!

Empowering

I expected nothing less from Drew. This book should be mandatory reading in all Highschools. Drew is empowering and funny, and is so relatable. This book opened my eyes, made me feel seen and validated. It made me laugh and cry, it was perfection. From a loud girl who was often called a 'pitbull' growing up, thank you.

Reflective and honest

Listened to this in one sitting whilst going about my day. Drew comes across as sincere and reflective. There are moments where I cried, and parts where I laughed because of her integrity and honesty. This book is inspiring and informative, and full of insights which I'll take with me. Made me like Drew even more.

Empowering

Hearing drew’s story made me realize how deeply rooted misogyny is in our society. Woman and fems are so much more worth than we are aware of.

Lovely

Such an easy book to pick up. It feels like you're getting hyped up my a friend as your reading and is definitely a book you can keep going back to. It is savagely funny and feels really genuine. 100% give it a go

Heartfelt, wholesome, and inspiring

I’ve been a fan of Drew for a few years and didn’t realise that meant I was there from almost “the beginning”. The lady is fulfilling her true destiny — it’s the only explanation for how perfect and sincere she is. This book isn’t an instruction manual, although there is plenty of advice and guidance, it’s an honest and pure account of the foundation of Drew’s ability to stride through, with rock solid conviction, her unshakable mission and what she wants all of us to realise and live by. I found so much validation in her words, despite being 30 years old than she is, and a new level of confidence in so many aspects of being myself. Thank you, Drew. x
