Nuel Ukah shared their thoughts on Hood 2 Good and wrote: 

“This book shows what it’s like growing up in the kind of environment Pierre grew up in, with all the struggles. Dionne and Darlene’s healing journey shows that people don’t have to struggle alone when they are surrounded by good family and friends, you just have to open up to them.” 

Reading Nuel’s review is truly meaningful. Knowing that the themes of struggle, healing and the importance of community resonated so clearly is incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful that the story’s message about support and connection stood out and connected in such a thoughtful way.
