The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are by Tariq Trotter

4.5

I really enjoyed this love letter to Philly, its music, and our people. I liked that he narrates himself with a couple assists. It was great to learn about his path to Mural Arts. 

The tone is reflective without being overwrought. I wish we had gotten more insight into his creative imagination. This is his life story, not a creative manifesto. But maybe that’s another book.
