The Gift of Being Seen
Note: This Women’s Day, I feature a guest post from my dear friend and fellow writer, Suma Nagaraj, who writes about the gift of friendship that she and I share.
“Black Girl, White Skin: A Life in Stories is the The Color Purple and Push of our time. Natalie Devora’s memoir shows the painful connection between misogynoir, colorism and sexual abuse in the Black community. But she sheds light on these issues from an angle we don’t discuss enough — as a person living with albinism. While Black Girl, White Skin is a powerful and moving account about trauma, Devora gives us hope that we can still make it after surviving our darkest moments.”
