Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
by Trevor Noah
This was one of, if not The best memoir I’ve ever read. It’s filled with resilience, curiosity, humor, and beauty. Trevor’s story is so unique and I learned so much about the apartheid, growing up half white/half Black and the complexities of crime and poverty, and even love. With every single chapter I laughed out loud, cried, and thought “that’s so true! i never thought of it like that!” Trevor’s mom is a badass; she’s so inspiring and I want to be her best friend. I’m also incredibly grateful I got to learn about her story through’s Trevor’s particular perspective; he’s so insightful and intuitive. This story ends so early in his life that I hope he one day give’s us another book where he connects his upbringing in South Africa to his now successful career.
