    Summary note
    • "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
