A powerful narrative about racism , the patriarchy, and so many other overlapping systems of oppression. Nigeria is a compelling narrator and, thought at times a bit repetitive, her story was a deep dive into finding your own identity amongst worlds trying to label you based on assumptions, biases, and their own interests.
