Impressive writing. I think you captured well the complexity of our American way and the role that others perceive or exult in. And the struggles many people feel about our imperfect union.

Fleeing to Paris in the footsteps of Baldwin, Baker and Simone resonated so much to me when I escaped in 2017 and it pains me to see that the US is once again entering another dark chapter where marginalised citizens are leaving to ensure they can continue to live in the body they occupy. Thank you for making space to honour these experiences and to share them with the world. I can't wait to hear them.
