Piccolo Is Black: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Pop Culture by Jordan Calhoun

5.0

AMAZING memoir. Calhoun expertly tells his coming of age story, weaving the influences of pop culture, his experience as a 7th Day Adventist, and family into each chapter. His memoir highlights of representation in media, and his message of validation and being enough for yourself really resonated. I gleefully read about so many shows and movies that I had also connected with. This is one I could suggest to anyone and everyone, and definitely will.
