dark emotional inspiring medium-paced

i’m not usually a fan of memoirs and tend to only read them if i am aware of whose story is being told, but when i saw this title “maybe i don’t belong here” i had to pick it up and learn more

harewood details an upsetting account of his journey with mental illness as a black man living in england - a topic i had never given much thought to. now that i’ve just completed a mental health law and mental capacity law module, the book definitely piqued my interest just a little more

the phrase “there ain’t no black in the union jack” literally had me speechless when david gave an account where that was first shouted at him; however i did find him to be reiterating some of the same pieces of information again and again and again

overall an important book dealing with a range of hugely important topics; definitely coming away from this book with a few thoughts - “if the white space couldn’t see it, i wouldn’t be it”
