From writer Jamila Rowser and artist Robyn Smith comes a
captivating graphic novel about the daily lives of four best
friends in the Bronx, told through five interlocking short stories.
"Wash Day" follows Kim through the quiet self-care rituals of her
wash day-the universal experience shared by Black women of setting
aside all plans and responsibilities for a full day of hair care.
"Group Chat" sees Tanisha filling her many hours at the salon by
texting her friends all her latest gossip. "Bright Side" is a quiet
portrait of Davene missing a hair appointment as she struggles with
her mental health and gets well-meaning, but misguided support from
Cookie. In "La Bendicion," Cookie receives an unexpected request
from her estranged abuela and heals a family rift during a tender
moment of hair care. "Ride or Die" takes place on Saturday night,
when the girls have each other's backs as they head triumphantly to
the club for Kim's big show. Inspired by her own wash day ritual
and a desire to see more comics for and by women of color, Jamila
Rowser collaborated with Robyn Smith to create the critically
acclaimed mini comic, WASH DAY. In expanding the story of Kim and
her friends, the authors pay tribute to Black sisterhood through
portraits of shared, yet deeply personal experiences of Black hair
care. Smith brings these stories to life in her art through
thoughtful color choices, expressive storytelling, and deeply real
characters. Full of tender, relatable, and laugh out loud funny
moments, the stories of WASH DAY DIARIES pay a loving tribute to
the beauty and resilience of Black women's hair and friendships.
