Finding Grace

The memoir chronicles a profound psychological journey marked by sudden and traumatic recall memories. Through dance, living abroad, psychotherapy, and vision therapy, the author navigates the disruption caused by these memories, which initially impaired her ability to read. Central to the narrative is the reunion with Grace, a nurturing figure from her childhood, whose departure and the subsequent emotional turmoil shaped her early life. The author reflects on her mother's struggles and the impact of her upbringing, ultimately tracing her path back to her roots and the Black culture that shaped her identity.
