Publisher's Synopsis
Guhl. Gworl. Gurl. Girl! No matter how you say it, there's undeniable power behind Black Girl Magic. Journalist and writer Kenya Hunt moved to London at the dawn of the Obama administration, just as social media was gaining momentum. Spending the last decade away from home, she writes about the unique love language between Black women, both in the real world and online. GIRL is a celebration of womanhood and Blackness. It delves into the prejudice, prohibition, possibilities and power of what being Black entails. Blending the popular and the personal, the humorous and the grave, Hunt weaves together her experiences in a collection of essays that examine what it is to be living as a Black woman in our time. Alongside Kenya's story, guest contributors add their unique voices to the discourse covering everything from identity, loss, activism and hair.
