I appreciate memoirs like this that aren't just a chronological detailing of a person's life. It's a lot more than that, it's so much more about race relations and identity in this country that's shaped by white supremacy. We're so focused on the binary of whiteness and "other," and this book does such a great job of talking about this issue and much more eloquently than I'm doing right now 😅 Just read it, it's very worth it.
