All real pain. Descriptions of two real black men straddling the expectations they are born with.
I wish there were more interjections of the Wes Moore in prison. But his existing quotes were poignant, especially about performing expectations without knowing if they’re yours or not.
I was hesitant to read what I deemed as “black trauma” but it only skimmed the surface of that. It’s not gratuitous.
