"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 jacket
