Asylum: A Memoir & Manifesto by Edafe Okporo

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

This memoir provides insight into two important issues: LGBTQ+ safety worldwide and our own inhumane immigration system. Okporo writes with clarity, honesty, and passion. He doesn’t shy away from the harsh parts of his story and is quick to call out ways that the world needs to change. I’d recommend this book to anyone interested in human rights, immigration, or LGBTQ issues. The bravery needed to share this story cannot be understated.
