One unusually glorious British summer, words began to flow from Mimi Rose onto the page. Words that had to be voiced, about times that needed to be discussed: Black woman times, Chronic illness times, Racist times, Present times, Fantastic times, Horrendous times, Painful times, Writer times, Happy times, Poignant times, Family times. It became a remembering season, with soul-healing moments coming into view. The words are genuine, honest, and real. They are sometimes funny and always thought-provoking.
Each piece is accompanied by a musical suggestion, which the author feels enhances the emotions in the words. Living today is very challenging. Living as a Black, chronically-ill woman is deeply challenging. When you read this collection, it is hoped that you feel seen, heard, uplifted, informed, recognised, and mindful. Divided into four sections- Race, Health, the World, and the Future- these pieces are designed to be spoken out loud.
