We Are Not Broken is a memoir by George M. Johnson that explores the author's experiences growing up in a tight-knit African American family led by their grandmother, affectionately known as Nanny. The book delves into themes of family, resilience, identity, and the challenges faced by Black queer youth. Through a series of personal anecdotes and reflections, Johnson shares the lessons learned from Nanny, the importance of kinship, and the strength found in community. The narrative also confronts the systemic issues of racism and homophobia, while celebrating the love and support that helped the author navigate these obstacles. Johnson's storytelling provides a powerful testament to the enduring bonds of family and the unyielding spirit of those who are often marginalized in society.
