Don’t call us D.E.A.D

Personally i found this book intriguing and very raw. I was taken aback by how vivid he was in his description of everything this book makes you think. I also love the fact that he was not afraid to tackle these more taboo topics. This book gives a sense of realness and honesty about the topics of sexuality, race, and how we address the topic of sex in general.

I was raised by very liberal parents so i was taught about sex and stds and stis at a very young age. I know that this is not the norm and it should be because if people were taught younger there wouldn’t be this taboo surrounding sexual safety. Now there are more and more people getting infected with these diseases when all they would need to do is be educated on how to protect themselves.

Lastly the subject of sexuality and race is tackled and it is good. There are people who are ignorant and mean and think that one race is better than the other. This author is passionate about the plight of the LGBTQ+ community and the plight of people of color.   

About Me

Hello I am sherlyn, I know that we didn’t have to identify ourselves i just wanted to. I am a simple person I dont require much to be happy all I want is to be is the best version of myself.  I was born in jacksonville florida and was raised between there and charlotte north carolina. I moved to georgia because i wanted to go to georgia state and i wanted to live somewhere other than where i was raised. I am so happy to be in atlanta i have family from here and the adjustment has been good compared to other places i had to move to.

I am the third of four children i have two older sisters and a younger brother. I am the only person in my immediate family that is multilingual. I can speak german, english (obviously), i can understand portuguese, and i know conversational korean. I want to help people so i have always wanted to be able to speak seven languages outside of the language i was born speaking. Personally i feel the best way to connect with people is to talk to them and hear their stories. Also i have a slight sailor mouth so not being understood by everyone is to my advantage sometimes.

Furthermore i find that with people i can be very polarizing, i am talkative and very opinionated. I find that my intolorance of ignorance can com off as cocky or even condescending i just happen to have a naturally caustic tone when i speak. I honestly love people im just really shy, if o could i would honestly be friends with the world.
