From TikTok-phenom Drew Afualo, a manual for fearlessly confident living

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 fems think about themselves.

manual

The book offers a roadmap on how to approach life in a patriarchal society and harness your own confidence in order to stand up for yourself in the face of rampant misogyny. 

manifesto

The book is a laugh-out-loud, feminist call-to-arms that encourages readers to remove men from the center of the story and create space to forge new pathways ahead.

memoir

Drew takes readers on a personal journey, offering a behind the scenes look into her family, her Samoan heritage and culture, and the fortuitous steps that led her to becoming one of her generation’s leading feminist icons.

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a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.
