About the Book

Part memoir, part reckoning, The Weight He Carries walks through the daily arithmetic of being a Black man in America. It sits with the tension between exhaustion and hope, between survival and the demand to be fully seen. Written with a steady, patient voice, the book invites every reader, of every background, to put the weight down long enough to look at it honestly.
