The Intersectionality of Being Black and Neurodiverse
"This book isn’t just pages bound together, it’s a piece of my heart, a response to a yearning for voices that resonate with the authentic experiences of those navigating both Black and neurodivergent identities. I set out on this literary journey because I sensed a void in stories truly delving into these often overlooked complexities".
