Expressing the truths about America, our family, and my own vulnerabilities is what made this letter very special to me, and hopefully special to you. I hope that anyone who picks up this book will understand the combat of being Black in America through my eyes. I believe that all people of all different groups should dwell together in unity. However, this will only happen if we all see and treat one another as human beings. - excerpt

"Kondwani's work is honest and imaginative, pushing us to confront our realities while reminding us of the hope we need to endure. He is an artist who understands his role as an activist, using language to empower, to enrich, and to inform." --DeRay McKesson, civil rights activist

"Raw Wounds is an explosive indictment on injustice. Kondwani Fidel's passion bleeds through the pages. His voice is timely, energetic, youthful, powerful, and fearless."--MK Asante, bestselling author of Buck: A Memoir

"Kondwani Fidel is gem--a gem that shines so bright, it's even visible in the darkest of places. And from those dark places comes Raw Wounds, a story that clearly documents the many layers of Blackness in a way that only a person with his lived experience can. Raw Wounds is eye-opening to outsiders and liberating to those who lived and are still living these experiences. Fidel has a literary gift and we are fortunate that he chose to share it with us. Raw Wounds is brilliant and I highly recommend it to anybody in search of the truth."--D. Watkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Beast Side and The Cook Up
