Hafizah Augustus Geter recounts her experiences as the queer Nigerian-born daughter of a Muslim Nigerian woman and a Black American man from a Southern Baptist family in Jim Crow Alabama. This title follows Hafizah on a journey that tells her at every turn she's not worthy yet she manages to sidestep shame, confront disability, embrace forgiveness, and emerge proudly and unabashedly as herself.
