My Seven Black Fathers is a special memoir written with a focus on Yemi/ Will's life growing up and the impact that the black men in his life had on him.
Will focuses on the role of race, masculinity, education, and family in the lives of Black boys in the United States today. The mentors in his life confront each one of these in their own way to help him grow and become the husband, father and activist that he is today.
His story is a deeply personal one and you can feel the deep appreciation of the Black male experience coming through the memoir. It is an important look at what it means to find yourself and the people that help you along the way.
I loved reading this and seeing the difference in other people's lives. It is an interesting, introspective look at growing up and how important mentors are in a young person's life.
Final thoughts, this memoir was an honest look at the life of Will Jawando and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a well-written and introspective memoir.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
