TW: addiction (alcohol), suicidal thoughts.
Rated R.

It was so beautiful to see flashbacks of his career early on, and to hear more about how he and his wife met, and see parts of how their relationship has changed over time, and wonderful to see how he took care of his kids when they were growing up, and to see a glimpse of them now as adults, being able to understand how the diagnosis affects him, and to see how connected they are as a family despite the diagnosis.

Such a top-notch read!

This book unpacks the various reasons for violence in the Black community, while also analyzing its social, cultural, economic and personal toll.

My favorite part of the book is when he elaborates on the roots of violence, going back to the days of slavery, ultimately explaining that it all comes back to the fact that the systems in our country are very flawed and broken.

1000/10 recommend it! @bookstodon
