In her book, she uses the lens of the 2020 movement for racial justice to explore its impact on the Black experience—the joy, the fear, the frustration. It is powerful, poignant, and deeply moving. I hope you’ll check it out. – fuente2022-05-08T00:09:41.000Z
a remarkable book of only 130 pp. so densely packed with intelligence, passion, meaning it is virtually monumental. brilliant use of art, poetry. how James Baldwin would have been moved. "art of the essay"--enormously powerful. – fuente
