 I've decided that I am no longer going to rate memoirs. I think it is such a personal thing and I do not want to give a rating to someone else's story, often times the hard parts. I thought this message was very powerful, and while I personally cannot relate in experience in its entirety I was able to relate to portions and take portions away. I think the story style fit the story very well and I did feel like the writing was very eloquent but still personal and beautiful.

“How do you not look the part when the part is stripped of its nuance and reduced to merely being Brown skinned?”
