The AmNews had had the pleasure of featuring Brown’s debut 2018’s “Decolonial Daughter: Letters from a Black Woman to Her European Son,” a visceral, touching book by a mother who shared her observations and wisdom to honor and acknowledge the evolution of her son’s life. Her long-awaited second book, “Blackgirl on Mars,” written while journeying through the United States during the height of the Black Lives Matters protests and finding herself in Trinidad and Tobago to lay her grandmother to rest, Brown gives her account of the existential reality of the maintenance of her own Black life within the realms of gender, sexuality, cultural connectivity and self-awareness. – Amsterdam News
