Letters to a Young Brown Girl by Barbara Jane Reyes

5.0

It feels like everytime you read a book that is so profound, relatable and just.. amazing, that words escape u. I wish i could mentally pull out a dictionary, pepper this review with pretty words and something beautiful to truly express how much this book meant to me-- but words are failing me.
I loved this book. So much. I wish I had read it when i was a young teenager, and I know i'll come back to it frequently throughout my life. I 100% will read every single piece of work Barbara has. As a filipino whos reconnecting w his roots, this book meant alot to me.
