Definitely a must read to gain a better perspective of the Black Experience in the U.S. A way for me to branch and educate myself of how my black brothers and sisters go through in the world. Even if they reach a goal outside of what’s expected, they still feel the discrimination and racism from people’s unconscious biases.

“The entire narrative of this country argues against the truth of who you are.”
This should be required reading. It’s a bit dense, and, despite being very short, takes some time to read and absorb. The stream of consciousness prose can be a little off putting to some, but if you take the time to move through this slowly it really adds to it. Heavy. Hard-hitting and deeply moving.
