And a related read that her writing had me recall: Tressie McMillian Cottom's piece on the Black essay. So many brilliant books within the genre that I've loved, and so many I can't wait to get to.
Great stuff.

- SOMETIMES I TRIP ON HOW HAPPY WE COULD BE is for fans of Roxane Gay, Tressie McMillan Cottom, and of course Perkins' dearly departed podcast Thirst Aid Kit.
- Perkins is working to untangle the messages she received in her youth about how to be a proper Black woman and learn to live her life exactly the way she wants to.
- She is open about everything from sex to church to drugs to love. Some essays I wish were expanded on a little more, but I'll read anything by Perkins - her mix of tender and serious is perfect.
