Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
"world-bending" - a term used a few times by the author is perhaps the best way to encapsulate these heart-piercing, mindblowing & incredibly audacious letters compiled into a memoir.
It is all the questions & answers you'd find in the sacred space between self & spirit, between human & heavenly. It's a book that really demonstrates how one archives destiny & divinity - practical, not pompous but so poetic in many regards.
What struck me most was how I believed every word regardless of how far-fetched & fantastical it should come across. More than anything it gave me faith that will stretch beyond what is humanly considered possible or acceptable.
I have great respect for Akwaeke Emezi's journey & what they will continue to teach & bend for us so that hopefully we can all access the truth & power of what we really are.
