Sesali Bowen has an amazing way with words. this book is part information & history, part memoir, and all engrossing. once started I could not put it down. highly recommend to those familiar with trap/intersectional feminism & those that are new to either or both. whether you want to learn more about these topics or just want some insight into Bowen's life, read this. it will NOT disappoint.

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.

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.
