- Description
In Pourin’ Down Rain, Cheryl Foggo outlines her experience growing up in Calgary as a young Black woman. She discusses the Black experience and racism in Alberta through her family’s own experiences, with an open conversational tone that makes it easier for readers to connect. Key themes of family, identity, and belonging recur throughout the various stories (mainly set in major cities across Canada), which are interspersed with photos of the author’s family. This work could be used as an example of memoir, and excerpts could be used for teaching Alberta history.
