A Particular Kind of Black Man

A Particular Kind of Black Man is a poignant exploration of identity, belonging, and the search for connection in a world that often rejects those who don't fit in.

Through the eyes of Tunde Akinola, a Nigerian-American boy growing up in small-town Utah, we witness the struggles of an uncomfortable assimilation into American life.

Despite his Midwestern accent and all-American upbringing, Tunde is constantly reminded that he is not like the rest of his classmates, and his parents' own issues only add to the tension at home.

As Tunde navigates through his childhood and young adulthood, he grapples with the complexities of identity and belonging, all while searching for a place where he can truly belong.

With a sweeping and stirring narrative, A Particular Kind of Black Man is a beautiful exploration of the meaning of memory, man, and the power of connection in a world that often feels hostile to those who don't fit in.
