Grip (Grip, #1)

Trust me when I say, I'm torn up inside and my eyes are leaking tears right now as I see the injustices subjected on POC, regardless of their financial or social status.
I remember Chris Rock once said,"not a single poor white person will swap places with me. And I'M RICH!!"This statement and Kennedys prose are not mere words to be taken lightly. Trust your life to be changed, your perspective widened, your viewpoint will agin another dimension. Such prolific writing, such meaningful dialogue, literature has always been a catalyst that drives a society to become better and Kennedy is an important cog in this gigantic wheel. And I'm so honored, so thrilled get to read them in real time.
"If I judge all officers by the actions of one, how is that any different than them profiling us? Than them expecting the same thing from all of us because of what they encountered with one? We can’t give up on each other. We have to keep trying and keep trying and keep trying. Because the alternative is unacceptable. Assuming the worst only divides us more.�
The background is music, the foreground is love and the in-between prejudices, cast apart, social rungs and colours of skin.
Eternal love that started on the giant wheel in a carnival, becomes ahaunting memory in Marlon "Grip" and Bristol's lives forever
“You are the perfect verse over a tight beat.�
Time passes, water flows under the bridge, but two wounded souls remain in their corners, always in eyesight but never beyond. It's tragic love at its best. Pining, craving, yearning because insecurities chain their feet and souls
"We all BRUISE,
It’s that black and blue
A dream deferred,
Nightmare come true
In another man’s shoes,
Walk a mile or two Might learn a couple things
I’m no different than you!"
And I'm officially Dessicated of all tears, all emotions. I've poured them all during this read and I invite you to do the same.
Loved the narrators, they brought the book to life
10 stars for EWB- Existing While Black
