For Black Girls Like Me by Mariama J. Lockington

4.0

Being a white mother with brown children, it’s crucial for me to understand that I DON’T understand. I loved this story told from the perspective of a black girl with white adoptive parents. So much of the subject matter is painful and hard to talk about, but so necessary. I only wish that the story remained centered on Makeda’s experiences and not so much the mother’s illness.
