'the geometry of being Black' is a poetic piece that splits open the concrete beneath our feet in order to give society a glimpse into prominent issues that the Black community experiences today.The book probes into five themes: how the Black community receives anti-Blackness and internalizes anti-Blackness, how the community can unlearn anti-Blackness and resist anti-Blackness, and how the community can learn to love their Blackness again. Some topics explored in the book are colorism, colonialism, police brutality, misogynoir, hair politics, self-loathing, toxic-masculinity, healing, and self-love. This book will break your heart open in the beginning, fill it with love in the middle, and sow it back up at the end.
