With unflinching honesty, McMillan Cottom explores themes such as beauty, media, money, and more, shedding new light on issues like whiteness, black misogyny, and status-signaling. Through her writing, McMillan Cottom transforms narrative moments into analyses of survival strategies for black women. Her work is marked by its deft humour and critical dexterity, investigating topics from Saturday Night Live to sexual violence and Trump rallies. This collection cemented McMillan Cottom's position as a public thinker capable of redefining the personal essay form. With writing that is both provocative and brilliant, Thick and Other Essays offers a powerful exploration of what it means to be black in America today.
