There was no need to wait until the next moment of transphobic controversy to share that. I have only read The Death of Vivek Oji so far, but that book has also made me a fan for life. This is why, upon the news that Akwaeke Emezi is releasing three books in the next 12 months, I ran to share why everyone needs to be reading their books. They are profiting off someone’s pain-someone in their community. It forces authors to have to balance both the joy that their book is bringing and the guilt that that their book is only trending because something bad likely happened.

We lock eyes and he smiles with recognition and theres a disarming kindness to his face and suddenly Im standing in front of him. ![]()
