Brown Girls by Daphne Palasi Andreades
5.0
Rating: 5/5 stars
I was in my feelings while I engaged with and related to everything going on in this narrative.
Andreades wrote as a collective voice of brown girls sharing their experiences in life, love, family, careers, education, parenthood and more from childhood through to death.
There is a lot that can be said about the dated experiences of brown girls. The book doesn't try to say that ALL brown girls go through exactly the same experiences, but it does emphasis that ALL brown girls go through similar ones. There is more than a few that we can understand, emphasize with, and even absolutely correlate our own lives with.
This book was exceptional. I'm not sure that it will be for everyone. It so told in short burst of moments and the pov is first person plural which might not be easily read by some, but for me that made such an impact.
Highly recommend.
