Broken Porcelain

Broken Porcelain is a collection of essays describing one Black woman's mental illness experience. The collection stands as a memoir-in-essays that guides the reader towards empathy - all while providing social commentaryn that demystifies stigmas of mental illness. In her singular lyrical prose, Relebone Rirhandzu eAfrika covers topics such as social media's role in how we view depression, generational trauma, what self-care really is, taking anti-depressant medication, and finding love when you are mentally ill. The author writes with poignant honesty about the darkness of her mental illness and breaks down what mental illness is (and is not). Broken Porcelain is an urgent invitation to open our hearts and minds to learning, listening and daring us to face our own hidden pain. Rirhandzu eAfrika provides us with the prespective of what it means to survive a brain that is trying to sabotage you and stand as a strong reminder that those who suffer with mental illness are not alone.
