“This is exactly why I want you to read books—to see the world through someone else’s eyes. I can tell you as a Black person, I have had moments just like this… where I’ve wondered, did this really happen? How could this happen to me? It’s so easy to brush these experiences under the rug. But I am so proud of Catherine Wang for shedding light on them, so that we all learn and grow. Sometimes an experience that seems impossible to us is actually the lived experience of many other people. And by understanding that, we all become more empathic human beings.”
