Inheritance
Inheritance | Elizabeth Acevedo
6 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
They tell me to "fix" my hair. And by fix, they mean straighten, they mean whiten; but how do you fix this shipwrecked history of hair? In her most famous spoken-word poem, author of the Pura Belpr-winning novel-in-verse The Poet X Elizabeth Acevedo embraces all the complexities of Black hair and Afro-Latinidad--the history, pain, pride, and powerful love of that inheritance. Paired with full-color illustrations by artist Andrea Pippins in a format that will appeal to fans of Mahogany L. Browne's Black Girl Magic or Jason Reynolds's For Everyone, this poem can now be read in a vibrant package, making it the ideal gift, treasure, or inspiration for readers of any age.

An unapologetic love letter to cultural identity, heritage, and ancestry. A visual poem honoring the beauty of one's complexion, praising the legacy written in the tresses of natural Black hair, and in celebration of self-acceptance.

“ Some people tell me to
fix my hair.
And so many words
remain unspoken,
because all I can reply is,
YOU CAN‘T
FIX
WHAT
WAS
NEVER

BROKEN.”

Of course we had to visit our local Indie Book store today. I always find a book I have never heard of…

The poem was short yet so impactful. It beautifully highlighted the struggles of natural hair as well as the complexities of being Afro-Latinidad. It‘s personal, real, and authentic, which are all qualities I look for when reading poetry.
