@prshakur: I wrote a beautiful book that came out two years ago. I remember the idea came to me the first morning that I woke up to the sunrise in a tent in Standing Rock inn2016 and I couldn't stop thinking about my father. Revolution, to me, is about the ability to confront death and this book gave me so many tiny revolutions. To support me, consider picking up a copy of WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO BE GOOD. @tin_house "Explores his childhood as a queer child of Jamaican immigrants in 2000s Ohio, his travels in response to America's failure to 'deliver me what I deserved as a young and curious Black person' and his reckonings with colonial and patriarchal violence." -- "The New York Times"
