Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi

5.0

this was the memoir i needed to feel like it's possible to go on. sharing so many identities with the author makes it sit in a way no other memoir has. their considerations of madness, gender, worth, and hope resonate so deeply. while they challenge map making in the process, i think it's a beautiful constellation and map of their walk to the present. my favorite letter was probably "anointing | dear ann." i'm excited to return to it and see where i'm at then and how i'm consideration my walk.

someone read it and saw exactly how it it in conversation with my own work. high compliment.
