| Summary |
"From the Deputy Editor of Elle UK, a provocative and humorous collection of essays on what it means to be Black, a woman, a mother and a global citizen in today's ever-changing world"-- Provided by publisher |
|
Black women have never been more visible or more publicly celebrated than they are now. But for every new milestone, the reality of everyday life for Black women remains a complex, conflicted, contradiction-laden experience. Hunt, an American journalist who has been living and working in London for a decade, takes the difficult and the indefinable and makes it accessible. Here she illuminates our current cultural moment--and transcends it. In creating a timeless celebration of womanhood, of Blackness, and the possibilities they both contain, she blends the popular and the personal in a collection that truly reflects what it is to be living and thriving as a Black woman today. -- adapted from dust jacket |
