I finished reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. It’s a book that’s in high school curriculums (my partner Katt read it in high school), but I just heard about it on a non-profit’s staff page (that I can’t find anymore), oddly.
There’s a personal story in it, as well as a systems story in it.

Their true identities are obscured, and they are addressed as the spirits they portray.
