Huh. Okay. So I didn't like it but I think if I reread it in a few years I’ll like it, so maybe I did like it. The connection between Black women and birthing and slavery and christianity / “be fruitful and multiply” will always be a relevant conversation, even a thousand years from now when the Brazil or United States and any form of slavery or oppression is a distant memory studied in the history books.
