In Every Mirror She's Black by Lọlá Ákínmádé Åkerström
4.0

A beautifully written and artfully expressed interpretation of the varied complexity in lived realities of intersectionality, even amongst black women, who hail from different narratives and cultures. The need for camaraderie and the expression sought after in understanding of what it’s like to be a Black woman anywhere it’s the beauty of this book and how even that is not a universal need anymore, because the society’s we become accustomed to, do this very thing first — strip us of dignity so that we cannot remind our peers of theirs later.

As a black woman I found myself in each and everyone of these women’s intersected lives and really appreciated being able to relate to the events and traumas that they walked through as well as understand trauma’s that occurred based on identity markers that aren’t necessarily applicable to me.

Informative and just astonishing writing. Loved it.
