I read a lot of feminist literature but find that nearly all of it is centered around white, upper-middle-class feminism. I don't want to be part of that narrow rhetoric, so I have started seeking out other, more inclusive voices.
Sesali Bowen's feminism celebrates Black women of all shapes and sizes and backgrounds, without judgement or justification. Her message is that Black women can and should create a feminism based on their needs and experiences, that supports and uplifts them based on what they already know and love (in this specific case, trap music).
This book isn't meant for everyone (not me, really) , but I found it extremely engaging and educating; it was well worth the read.
