Description
A graphic novel love letter to Black women and their friendships, Wash Day Diaries tells the story of four young friends through five connected short story comics. The book takes its title from the wash day experience shared by Black women everywhere, where they set aside all plans for a full day of washing, conditioning, and nourishing their hair. Each short story uses hair routines as a window into these characters' everyday lives and how they care for each other. With beautifully drawn characters and different color palettes reflecting the mood in each story, the book brings to life portraits of shared experiences of Black sisterhood, from self-care to healing family rifts. The graphic novel includes an updated, full-color version of a critically acclaimed mini comic, which follows one of the main characters as she navigates her daily life. This is expanded into a new narrative with short stories about these vibrant and relatable characters.
