This was an incredible read. It made me cry. It put into words so many complicated emotions I have about being Black in this country. Stellar achievement and absolutely deserved The National Book Award and all of the accolades it received. Just WOW. It made me cry.
Moderate: Racism and Sexism
Minor: Police brutality, Murder, and Gun violence
