This memoir manifesto is a must read.  George M. Johnson takes us through growing up as a Black Queer boy and how different moments and people in his young life shaped who he is today.  George shares very intimate moments of this life; from traumas he experienced, his first time having sex and to his deep relationship with his grandmother.  He discusses his Black and Queer identities and how in some situations he minimized aspects of them.  George’s candidness, passion and honesty create a very thought provoking and engaging read.
