Jacuyra’s honesty is what makes this piece truly gripping. She starts out with a great scene of an interaction with her mother which sets the tone for the rest of the piece. The story describes her challenges dealing with life outside of her house, as well as life with her mother. Jacuyra continues be completely frank about the situations she’s faced throughout the story, and as a listener, it felt like I was having a conversation with her. She was amazingly bold and did not shy away from sharing very personal conversations with the world. One of the best aspects was her ability to tell the story in her own voice, it was clear that she wasn’t trying to be anyone else. I admire Jacuyra for her courage in telling this story to so many people and I truly think this piece is remarkable.
