Morgan’s Reviews > Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head > Status Update

I am and will always be a huge fan of Warsan Shires work. Admittedly, it is not for everyone. But the raw, poignant and captivating way she describes her lived experiences…the way she unravels the complexities of girlhood and wading into womanhood and the cutting reality of it being an alternate universe for a black woman is…both heartbreaking and strangely comforting. I grieve and I celebrate each time I read.
