Summary:
"Mia McKenzie, creator of the website Black Girl Dangerous, writes about race, queerness, class and gender in a concise, compelling voice filled at different times with humor, grief, rage, and joy. In this collection of her work from BGD, McKenzie's nuanced analysis of intersecting systems of oppression goes deep to reveal the complicated truths of a multiply-marginalized experience. McKenzie tackles the hardest questions of our time with clarity and courage, in language that is accessible to non-academics and academics alike. She is both fearless and vulnerable, demanding and accountable. Mia McKenzie is the author of The Summer We Got Free and the creator of BGD, a website that amplifies the voices of queer and trans people of color. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Mia studied writing at the University of Pittsburgh, where she also was first exposed to black literature and feminism"--Provided by publisher.
