Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi

emotional informative inspiring mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

I don’t think I’ve ever read a more vulnerable memoir than this. Emezi is one of my favorite authors and I don’t think anyone elses writing can even begin to compare. Emezi is out of this world and beyond our time. They discuss non binary non human forms of life, the dedication and sacrifice it takes to reach your dreams, the solitude upon reaching them, and so much more. I wanted to hold Akwaeke and tell them how much they mean to me.. how much their mind, heart, and soul, and words speak to me… This memoir has many valuable life lessons and I think it’s one that’s meant to be savored, cherished like a sacred text, and studied for reflections.
