A philosophical exploration on what it meant to confront your vulnerabilities being someone who is made to be marginalised, specifically being a Black British person. 

Weaved with views from others (e.g. writers) within the community, I thought Nelson's writing unfolds beautifully in a gentle, heartwrenching manner as our main character reach his peace.
