Bad Fat Black Girl | Sesali Bowen

Hiphop journalist and trap feminist ‘Bad Fat Black Girl’ Sesali Bowen is a whirlwind to take note of. Her book is memoir, trap music history, sociological analysis and life advice all in one. In an open and intimate writing style Sesal takes the reader from her youth on the South Side of Chicago through her 'boosting' years as a shoplifter to her rocky academic career and everything in between. Where Kiese Laymon's Heavy follows the ups and downs on the scale, Bad Fat Black Girl is only about gaining in all the best senses of the word.
