What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker: A Memoir in Essays by Damon Young

3.0

Read this for class sophomore year. I think this is a really good gateway into understanding Black boyhood in America and especially the systemic systems that work against their existence. We see internalized thoughts become explicit as we become more aware of the things that motivate us.

Loved it! Damon Young is really funny too and this was a swell and easy read!!
