Description
Bad Fat Black Girl: Notes from a Trap Feminist by Sesali Bowen is a powerful call for a more inclusive and 'real' feminism. Bowen writes from an authentic space for Black women who are often left out of feminist conversations due to respectability politics, but who are just as deserving of the same voice and liberation. In this genre-defining debut, Bowen combines rule-breaking feminist theory, witty and insightful personal memoir, and cutting cultural analysis. Born on the south side of Chicago, Bowen learned early on how to hustle, stay on her toes, and champion other Black women and femmes as she navigated Blackness, queerness, fatness, friendship, poverty, sex work, and self-love. Through her love of trap music, which led her to hip-hop journalism, Bowen has profiled game-changing artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, and Janelle Monae. However, despite the beauty and complexity she saw, Bowen found none of that nuance represented in mainstream feminism. This book is a testament to her vision for a more inclusive feminist movement.
