Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you? That feeling of belonging remains with readers the rest of their lives but it doesn’t happen as frequently for all of us. In this timely anthology, well-read black girl Glory Edim brings together original essays by some of our best black female writers and creative voices to shine a light on how important it is that everyone regardless of gender, race, religion, or abilities can find themselves in literature.
Whether its learning about the complexities of femalehood from Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison, finding a new type of love in The Color Purple, or using mythology to craft an alternative black future, each essay reminds us why we turn to books in times of both struggle and relaxation. Edim has created a space where black women’s writing and knowledge and life experiences are lifted up, to be shared with all readers who value the power of a story to help us understand the world, and ourselves.
