The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl

The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl

In the bestselling tradition of Sloane Crosleyâ€™s I Was Told Thereâ€™d Be Cake and Mindy Kalingâ€™s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, a collection of humorous essays on what itâ€™s like to be unabashedly awkward in a world that regards introverts as hapless misfits, and black as cool.

My name is â€œJâ€ and Iâ€™m awkwardâ€”and black. Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone could be. That someone was right. Where do I start?

Being an introvert in a world that glorifies cool isnâ€™t easy. But when Issa Rae, the creator of the Shorty Awardâ€“winning hit series â€œThe Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl,â€ is that introvertâ€”whether sheâ€™s navigating love, work, friendships, or â€œrappingâ€â€”it sure is entertaining. Now, in this debut collection of essays written in her witty and self-deprecating voice, Rae covers everything from cybersexing in the early days of the Internet to deflecting unsolicited comments on weight gain, from navigating the perils of eating out alone and public displays of affection to learning to accept yourselfâ€”natural hair and all.

A reflection on her own unique experiences as a cyber pioneer yet universally appealing, The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is a book no oneâ€”awkward or cool, black, white, or otherâ€”will want to miss.
