Willow Weep for Me: A Black Woman's Journey Through Depression | Meri Nana Danquah

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

She moves back to the city of her childhood where she befriends two black women who are also suffering from depression. With their support she confronts the traumatic childhood events--sexual abuse, neglect, and loss--that lie beneath her grief. This is not simply a memoir about depression, it is a powerful meditation on courage and a litany for survival.

I first heard of this book when the author's daughter, Korama Danquah, was on the Ethnically Ambiguous podcast. She mentioned that her mother had written a book, and it sounded fascinating. I'm so glad I read it! It was intense but just so damned good!

#libraryhaul part 1. It‘s going to be nice to read about struggles of depression and childhood trauma from a woman of color. I know there are MANY others out there including Maya Angelou and Roxane Gay, but the description of this one really stuck out to me for some reason.
