Written by Nigerian/American based comedian, activist and blogger, Luvvie Ajayi, ‘I am judging you’ is a hilarious book of essays written to inspire one to good behavior. The book dissects cultural obsessions and calls out bad behavior in this increasingly digital life. From the cultural importance of a new television drama to serious discussions of race and media representation to what to do about one’s cousin sharing casket pictures from Grandma’s wake on Facebook to complaints about why women don’t wash their bras more than once per year as well as real life issues on why racism is still so rampant in the United States; why it takes so long for a woman to be heard after being raped even when she accuses her attacker; why people are still homophobic; why people lighten their skin or undergo cosmetic surgery etc. By exposing the uncool, unwashed underbelly of American society, Ajayi’s essays force readers to reconsider their stances on a variety of issues, including social media and the public airing of everything, celebrities, sex tapes, the various types of friendships one might have, feminism, religion etc.
