About this audiobook
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a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.
A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.
Editor's Note
Unapologetic takedown…
Afualo, a beloved social media influencer, takes her platform to the page, where she continues to slam misogyny with unapologetic enthusiasm. Blending personal stories with encouraging (and hilarious) insights on bravery, authenticity, and self-love, Afualo’s book reads like a pep talk from your big sis. This is a gem for any woman or teen girl looking for permission to be themselves and break free from the patriarchy.
