#SafiyaSinclair's #Memoir Is a “#LoveLetter to #Jamaica” That Doesn't Turn Away From Its #Scars.
It follows her #childhood in #Jamaica, raised by a strict #Rastafai #father, the potential escape that a nascent #career in #modeling might have offered her, and the foreclosed possibility when her father forbade her from #cutting her #dreadlocks.

The author speaks with fellow Jamaican writer Nicole Dennis-Benn about her new work. "In Jamaica," Sinclair says, "we have this idea of 'Keep your family secrets to yourself' and also 'Keep your nation’s secrets to yourself.'"
