It was honesty and funny while so full of heart.
Of course, looking at my profile, you can see I’m white and this book isn’t necessarily for me. While I enjoyed this book thoroughly I’m definitely not it’s intended audience and so I’ll be buy and donating a copy to give this book further reach to the people it is for.
But I loved this book so much. I don’t stay up until 6 am for any book

I was in the mood for some nonfiction and this had been calling out to me for a while so I picked it up and devoured it in about 24 hours. Sesali Bowen writes about her formative years as a fat, queer Black girl growing up in Chicago. She discusses racism, fatphobia, and how trap music has influenced perceptions of Black women in our white-dominant, patriarchal society, ultimately giving rise to Trap Feminism (a term she coined).
She also describes her own experiences as a sex worker and a queer woman navigating financial instability, friendships and relationships. Bowan's writing style is engaging, entertaining and accessible, and I flew through this. I'd never heard of Trap Feminism before and I learned a lot from picking up this book. It's a really interesting, informative read and one that I think a lot of white feminists should read.
Content warnings for discussions of racism, fatphobia, internalised homophobia, sexual assault, underage sex, fights and violence.
