Produktbeschreibung

Ebony Get Lit! March 2024 Pick Whatever happened to the regular Black girl? The one who works a nine-to-five or maybe owns her own business or is completing her master's. Or how about the one figuring out how to be a good mom or wife or daughter? Or the one that's doing all the above? Hi, that's a lot of us. Black women are doing it all, and it's not just the Oprahs and BeyoncEs. There's an entire group of us that are just, well, regular. We're handling things, like determining if we should speak up in that work meeting and risk becoming the "e;voice"e; for all Black women, or considering whether tonight is the night to introduce our silk hair bonnet in the relationship that is just getting serious. These decisions range from impactful to trivial, but they shape who we are. So where is our place for this type of girl talk and unfiltered sharing? Gail Hamilton Azodo is your thirtysomething corporate ladder climber turned entrepreneur, mom, wife, and Black Girl IRL. In her dinners, happy hours, and group texts with Black women, they shared everything from motivational quotes to the latest in Black girl advice. Whether it's how to cut ties with friends who no longer align with our purpose or how to talk about money and embrace Black women's wealth, Gail is here to share these authentic stories of everyday Black women-with a fair number of frills.
