Hey Narina, this is great! Thank you. I'm very pleased that you felt moved to recommend my beauty essay to people. I've written a part 2 of it, which I should probably go back and link to. Hmmm. I look forward to checking out your other recommendations. I hope you're enjoying Indonesia!

I loved so much about this essay, Kendall. It's so beautifully and tenderly written. I read it while on a flight and had to put my phone down a few times, to stop the tears. South Africa has (and South Africans have) come so far during my lifetime, but that there are still such awfully racist white people - I am overcome with shame.
