#SafiyaSinclair's #Memoir Is a “#LoveLetter to #Jamaica” That Doesn't Turn Away From Its #Scars.

It follows her #childhood in #Jamaica, raised by a strict #Rastafai #father, the potential escape that a nascent #career in #modeling might have offered her, and the foreclosed possibility when her father forbade her from #cutting her #dreadlocks.
