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