Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi
5.0
"Alone, there's just me, and I see myself clearly.
Speaking to other people, though, requires channeling who or what I am into language they can understand. It requires folding."
I have never highlighted a book more. I can't thank Akwaeke enough for their courage and mastery for words. It’s difficult for me to put into words what a gift this book is and what it means to read such power and the visceral impact it has had on me. I can’t believe I have yet to read Freshwater... I will soon once I come done from processing these words.
what does it mean to exist and to exist honestly? they urge us to question our embodiment in this realm while witnessing the Ogbange unearths their own.
Understand this if you understand nothing fellow humans: it is a powerful thing to be seen.
