Introduction

Perfectly Flawed is a book based on not being perfect and living up to society's standards of waking up flawless.

Societal Expectations

Society paints this picture that we have to be perfect and without blemish. Especially in the African American community, where having a flaw like mental illness, rape, or incest is often stigmatized.

Family Secrets

Family secrets are only to be kept within the household because it's taboo to talk about these things. While the perception of a perfect family is to be portrayed to the outside world, keeping secrets only leads to emotional breakdowns.

Seeking Help

It's okay to go to God and seek outside help. This book points out flaws and emphasizes that no one is perfect, and the character realizes she is perfectly flawed.
