After the rain was beautiful and scary to read. This graphic novel graphics had gore tones and I didn't know what to expect. Like the main character, I approached the scene with fear. This graphic novel show the difficulty of navigating the world as American and Nigerian. This book introduces cultural norms and passages that the western world is unfamiliar with and behaviors that may deem a person as being "unwell." Going on the spiritual journey with the main character was refreshing and allowed me time to challenge my western views, while living in a black body.
