Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam

5.0

Punching The Air is masterful, devastating, beautiful, and your heart will feel so heavy reading it. You physically feel hopeless and suffocated reading about Amal's situation - which is not an easy thing to achieve with verse!

The way this talks about how gentrification contributes to the School to Prison pipeline and shows gentrification as a form of white violence is just *chef kiss*.

I need everybody to read this.
