The Beautiful Struggle

A beautiful read

This is the universal story of fathers and sons regardless of where they're born and raised. Ta-Nehisi and I are almost the same age and yet grew up in parallel universes on the same continent. My beautiful struggle was much less intense than his — much more of the “normal” that he describes as the desired state — and yet his beautiful turn of phrase gave me an understanding of how his life was lived. So lucky for all of us that he chose to share it, and to shed light into what may otherwise have remained in darkness.
