This work covers a number of different topics: race, gender, sexuality, islamaphobia, faith, racism, generational trauma and immigration. These topics all weave into the poet's work - with pieces trying to find some understanding while others have a full circle moment.
I have multiple tabs that accent the beautiful colors that bind these pages. This is probably my favorite poetry book that I have read this year.
This has the rawness of Halsey's "I Would Leave Me If I Could" with the depth of Warsan Shire's "Bless The Daughter Raised By The Voice In Her Head". If you were a fan of both works, then I think you might enjoy this one!

My only griefs are that a lot of the selections the further I read became repetitive and a little too reminiscent of the sort of “shower thoughts” or “Instagram poetry” of contemporary writing (that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just not my thing personally). In retrospect, I think that this book might be better for some if read in short bursts or non consecutively.
Overall, this was a pretty average read, not bad by any means but I feel that the author is capable of better.
