Carefree Black Girls: A Celebration of Black Women in Pop Culture by Zeba Blay

challenging informative reflective

5.0

cw: suicidal thoughts, sexual assault 

loved this so much! how Blay examines the influence of specific Black women in pop culture to explore nuanced and challenging topics including colorism, fatphobia, the “angry Black woman” stereotype, and about who gets to be a carefree Black girl. i thought Blay’s analyses were insightful, as she grappled with some very thoughtful questions and concepts related to identity, interwoven with her own personal experiences and internal challenges
