Brown Girl Rising: A Poetry Memoir

Michele LaMar-Thomas' stunning debut poetry collection exemplifies the brown girl experience, summing this into one narrative offering inclusion, hope, and example of how one can take various oppressions and turn them into catalysts for inner growth. Each poem demonstrates finding beauty and strength in the mundane or even frustrating parts of life. An empowering read for brown girls everywhere.
