This book details a story that is not so frequently talked about. In the mix of all of the racial discussion that have been happening more recently one conversation that I haven't seen happen is that of the "Token Black Person". Non-black people can't ever grasp the magnitude of things that we are forced to learn or understand as a result of being born black. Being the "token" is an even more niche experience. Its rough to experience and even harder to deal with the aftermath of the self hatred those situations left you with. Prescod did suchhhhhhhhh a great job of not only being honest about her experiences but also be honest about how she harmed people in the process of trying to survive a world that wasn't made for people that look like her. I loved it... even as a non-fiction (semi) hater.
