- Summary
- "In these eight ... explorations on beauty, media, money, and more, Tressie McMillan Cottom--award-winning professor and ... author of Lower Ed--embraces her ... role as a purveyor of wit, wisdom, and Black Twitter snark about all that is right and much that is wrong with this thing we call society"--Dust jacket flap.
- Cottom, a modern black American feminist, discusses self and society, covering everything from Saturday Night Live, LinkedIn, and BBQ Becky to sexual violence, infant mortality, and Trump rallies. In doing so she reveals precisely how the political, the social, and the personal are almost always one and the same. -- adapted from jacket
