DYSCALCULIA: A LOVE STORY OF EPIC MISCALCULATION, from poet and essayist Camonghne Felix, is a powerful and brilliant memoir that serves as a masterclass in investigating self when the heart and mind are reeling from the pain of broken and scattered connections. Felix braids her stories of lost love, a complicated relationship with her mother, and her late diagnosis of dyscalculia and bipolar disorder to reveal the power of reclaiming self through healing.

Camonghne joined us in conversation to discuss her personal journey in the systems built that deliberately dismiss the pain of Black women. We talk about advocating for a better education & mental health system for young Black children and what it took for her to get to a place of self-love and acceptance to create a fuller life for herself.
