“This was my first taste of the difference between justice for black people and justice for white people in England,” Yashere writes in Cack-Handed. “I don’t like to boast, but yes I’m doing very well. I’m older, I’m not going to get the opportunities a younger, prettier person is going to get. But I’m still black, I’m still a woman, I’m an immigrant, I’m gay – so I still have those things to contend with.”I ask what she is most proud of. “So yeah, I’m proud of that.”Cack-Handed by Gina Yashere is published by HarperCollins Publishers.
