Speaking My Truth at Upcoming Family Reunion
In this, Natalie writes about the experience and the decision to give a reading from her memoir, the critically acclaimed ‘Black Girl, White Skin,’ to an unexpected audience: family that she will meet for the first time. Natalie recounts her process and the emotions she had to navigate to prepare for this reading, which happens soon.
“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.”
