Synopsis:
A boy comes to terms with his identity as a mixed-race gay teen – then at university he finds his wings as a drag artist, The Black Flamingo. A bold story about the power of embracing your uniqueness. Sometimes, we need to take charge, to stand up wearing pink feathers – to show ourselves to the world in bold colour
Review:
When I sat down to read this, I didn’t know that I would find it near impossible to put down. There were so many passages that demanded to be re-read and flagged for further reflection. It’s a raw and emotional coming of age story that deals with so many topics and finding your place in the world. A truly beautiful and impactful read that I would highly recommend to anyone.
