A massive thank you to Gal-dem and Walker YA for this copy! I picked it up this morning and could not put it down. If there ever was a book I needed to read at this point in my life (or any earlier) it sure is this one. If you are a person of colour, growing up in a place where who you are doesn’t fit the bill of ‘how/what you ought to be’ READ THIS. If that isn’t the case, I’d still say READ IT. "I Will Not Be Erased" is a collection of stories from people of colour about growing up as such. Topics range from identity, sexuality, family, love and power, and I can assure you that in these brutally honest accounts you will be able to find strength, inspiration and solace. Growing up black in Europe and not fitting the boxes people constantly try and confine me to, has been pretty harsh to say the least. It’s been a huge effort the passed 1.5 years trying to dismantle years and years of self-loathing, but it’s these type of stories that show I’m not alone in this and that we’ll get there eventually. My full review will be up on my Youtube channel next week!
