| Summary |
"Through a series of extraordinary, incisive, often-humorous essays, Emmy Award-winning actress and writer Vanessa Baden Kelly examines what the idea of 'home' means to a Black millennial woman. What are the consequences of gentrification on the life of a young Black woman, and on her ability to raise a family? What does it mean to be part of a lineage, whether it be passed down through names or through the voices of generations of writers and thinkers? Underlying the theme of each essay are questions of how a Black millennial woman can find 'home' anywhere when confronted with its invasion by police, men, and society's expectations"--Back cover. |
