TW/CW: Rape, Incest, Colorism, Racism, Manipulation, Abuse, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence

Toni Morrison was such a great narrative of words. Listening to the book and hearing her words in the ways she wanted them to be spoken was so wonderful. This book is broken down into seasons. I think the seasons are to recognize the beauty and challenges of changes. In each season I felt there were new lessons to learns and new revelations to be revealed. While listening, I felt my ancestors talking to me about their childhood joys and turbulence. There were so many nuances and insights to parenting while black that I related to. So many whispers and conversations that I knew I was "too young" to hear was perfectly translated in this book. I say myself and my relatives throughout this book. I can't wait to formulate more of my thoughts on this book and turn it into something that emphasizes the importance of BLACK MENTAL HEALTH. To want blue eyes, and bluest of eyes causes for self-reflection of what is mine and what is NOT!
