You Can't Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain - Phoebe Robinson
Known for her hilarious Podcast, 2 Dope Queens, Phoebe Robinson uses her comedic stylings in this book of essays on what it feels like to be a black woman today who still has to explain her existence to the world around her. An example of how the personal becomes political, she shares her own life experiences as a way for others to learn more about black women as a marginalized group by relating to her life’s struggles and triumphs. Good for anyone who loves to read short, comical, yet smart and substantive essays about black womanhood today.
