I Was Their American Dream: A Graphic Memoir by Malaka Gharib

funny informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Malaka’s graphic memoir is a treat to read. I love the format, and the creative use of cute-out activity pages. She discusses her Egyptian-Filipino family, her parents’ experiences, and her experience growing up the American daughter of immigrants from two different parts of the world. She also discusses micro aggressions, and micro aggressions she herself has committed.
