The absolute audacity of that man… and the other woman… jeez…

My heart is breaking and healing. The most beautiful memory I’ve read so far. I don’t think I have enough words

oh... i'm tearing up... This mama is not a perfect person but she's doing the most she can do.

oh... my heart breaks for her...

oh the lessons that this young girl had to learn far too young...

crazy how history can be erased if not spoken about.
Sometimes only a few people hold onto the truth and everyone else "forgets" or doesn't acknowledge

such beautiful prose and so engaging. I know so little about Rastafarianism so I'm also learning a lot about Rasta culture in general but more specifically about her family's practices

I don’t know anything about Rastafarianism nor about Jamaica so I’m glad this memoir starts with some context and history. Very interesting so far. The authors writing is almost lyrical and her voice so soothing as I listen.
