"Wash Day" is more than just a story about hair—it’s a celebration of sisterhood, self-care, and the small yet powerful ways Black women uplift one another. Jamila Rowser beautifully captures the nuances of friendship, solitude, and everyday resilience, while Robyn Smith’s vibrant illustrations bring each moment to life with warmth and authenticity. The characters feel real—layered, bold, and full of personality—making this graphic novel a true love letter to Black women and their rituals of care. A beautifully crafted, intimate glimpse into the connections that hold us together.
