I enjoyed this book so much!!! So easy breezy even though most topics talked about in the book was heavy. It didn’t give that vibe when reading it!

This book is too sad, my goodness..just when it was going so well more tragedy…Jesus be my shield 😩

“everyone likes to talk about how strong black women are, but no one ever talks about how painful the feet become. Perhaps it was the steel-toed shoes she wore at the grocery store all those years that mangled her feet. Or maybe it was the weight of having to do it all. All the working, parenting, cooking, and worrying had always fallen on her. Her feet had paid the price.” My fav quote from this amazing book!!

When does the killing start? It’s getting boring 🥱

This book is wild and I’m barely in!! 😋

“And he wondered if there would ever be a day that came when all this was unnecessary, when white people would look at him and Anthony and simply listen, when their words would have worth and value because they were uttered, when they would not have to hide who they were, when they wouldn’t have to go through endless distortions just to be understood “ 😮‍💨

“English did not just borrow words from other languages; it was stuffed to the brim with foreign influences, a Frankenstein vernacular. And Robin found it incredible, how this country, whose citizens prided themselves so much on being better than the rest of the world, could not make it through an afternoon tea without borrowed goods.” Burn!!! 😁🤭
