Black. Female, and Living in the Martyr-Free Zone
With humor and wit, Kendrick reimagines what it means to be "a good Black woman." From choosing never to have children to being the solitary Black atheist to conquering loneliness as a single woman in a foreign country, the experiences she captures represent a cultural shift from the Black woman who serves as noble martyr and sacrificial lamb to the Black woman who chooses to put herself in the center of her life. "Enter and savor the gift." - Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Spelman College
