This book details a story that is not so frequently talked about. In the mix of all of the racial discussion that have been happening more recently one conversation that I haven't seen happen is that of the "Token Black Person". Non-black people can't ever grasp the magnitude of things that we are forced to learn or understand as a result of being born black. Being the "token" is an even more niche experience. Â Its rough to experience and even harder to deal with the aftermath of the self hatred those situations left you with. Prescod did suchhhhhhhhh a great job of not only being honest about her experiences but also be honest about how she harmed people in the process of trying to survive a world that wasn't made for people that look like her. I loved it... even as a non-fiction (semi) hater.
