"Sesali Bowen is poised to give Black feminism the rejuvenation it
needs. Her trendsetting writing and commentary reaches across
experiences and beyond respectability. I and so many Black girls
still figuring out who they are in this world will gain so much
from whatever she has to say."-Charlene A. Carruthers, activist and
author of Unapologetic: A Black, Queer and Feminist Mandate for
Radical Movements "Sesali perfectly vocalizes the inner dialogue,
and daily mantras needed to be a Bad Bitch."-Gabourey Sidibe,
actor, director, and author of This is Just My Face: Try Not To
Stare "A powerful call for a more inclusive and 'real'
feminism."-Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Bowen writes from an
authentic space for Black women who are often left out of feminist
conversations due to respectability politics, but who are just as
deserving of the same voice and liberation."-Booklist (starred
review) From funny and fearless entertainment journalist Sesali
Bowen, Bad Fat Black Girl combines rule-breaking feminist theory,
witty and insightful personal memoir, and cutting cultural analysis
for an unforgettable, genre-defining debut. Growing up on the south
side of Chicago, Sesali Bowen learned early on how to hustle, stay
on her toes, and champion other Black women and femmes as she
navigated Blackness, queerness, fatness, friendship, poverty, sex
work, and self-love. Her love of trap music led her to the top of
hip-hop journalism, profiling game-changing artists like Megan Thee
Stallion, Lizzo, and Janelle Monae. But despite all the beauty,
complexity, and general badassery she saw, Bowen found none of that
nuance represented in mainstream feminism. Thus, she coined Trap
Feminism, a contemporary framework that interrogates where feminism
meets today's hip-hop. Bad Fat Black Girl offers a new, inclusive
feminism for the modern world. Weaving together searing personal
essay and cultural commentary, Bowen interrogates sexism,
fatphobia, and capitalism all within the context of race and
hip-hop. In the process, she continues a Black feminist legacy of
unmatched sheer determination and creative resilience. Bad bitches:
this one's for you.
