    Although it often remains unknown, Allison wrote Two or Three Things I Know for Sure and he shares experiences that reveal intersectionality and explains how his experiences life and her environment have shaped her into who she is now. This book also reveals the juxtaposition between how people identify with intersectionality and how society or others perceive them and hold them to specific standards. This book reveals how history can repeat itself, how others can be impacted by the intersectionality around them, and how they feel obligated to hold themselves to a standard imposed on them, such as the recurring idea of to be “pretty”. The book ends with Allison and her sister calling Allison's niece "pretty" and Allison breaks down the walls around her, allowing herself to see the battles she faced in the world.
