emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

"And I want you all also to remember that whether you're black and trans or not, you have a duty and a responsibility to elevate black trans power."

Fantastic memoir that hits the sweet spot of balance between life story and reflection. Very, very interesting read.
