MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY

In her debut book, MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY: How to Fight Self-Doubt and Terrible Men on the Path Toward Finding Yourself, Drew will go deeper on the topics that have made her the Internet's collective obsession, landing her brand deals with everyone from Fenty Beauty to Tinder to YouTube and an exclusive in-house podcast deal with Spotify, joining the ranks of superstars such as Alexandra Cooper (Call Her Daddy) and Emma Chamberlain.

Meet Drew Afualo. Drew is the big sister you've never had, if your big sister had millions of TikTok followers, absolutely no patience for what she deems "terrible men," AKA any man who disrespects women and upholds the patriarchy (which, unfortunately, is most men, especially online), and once told a boy in the seventh grade that she'd kill him for being rude to her own big sister, and meant it. So maybe Drew Afualo is the little sister you've never had, but sister, girlfriend, mommy, whatever you want to call her - Drew Afualo is here for you.

And whether you love her, hate her, or love to hate her, Drew has blazed a path in contemporary media as a singular figure, one who kicks ass and takes no shit, shining a light on all the ways the patriarchy has warped how we think about ourselves and our self-worth, with the sole objective of teaching her millions of followers how to build confidence and self-respect, stand up for themselves, whether it's against individual haters or the patriarchy at large, and love ourselves more than anyone else.

Drew's sass, gives-no-fucks attitude, and even that raucous cackle we all know and love shine through the pages, but it'll also give her a chance to share, for the first time, stories from her life and her upbringing that led her to have so much confidence, and so little patience for those who don't reach the bar. Broken down into plain language, Drew tackles topics as difficult to discuss and as entrenched as internalized misogyny, toxic masculinity, the desire for male validation, and the fear of settling, but also walks readers through the power of manifestation, self-love, and knowing your worth and never accepting anything less, whether that's from where you work or who you love.


Warm, conversational, funny, and wise, MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY is equal parts Brene Brown and Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, a how-to for instilling confidence and self-respect, calling out bullshit when you see it, and finding your voice to speak up for the most important person in your life: yourself.
