A Black girl in the middle : essays on (allegedly) figuring it all out

Summary: "Shenequa Golding doesn't aim to speak for all Black women. We're too vast, too vibrant, and too complicated. As an adult, Golding begins to own her boldness, but growing up, she found herself 'kind of in the middle,' fluctuating between not being the fly kid or the overachiever. Her debut collection of essays, A Black Girl in the Middle, taps into life's wins and losses, representing the middle ground for Black girls and women. Golding packs humor, curiosity, honesty, anger, and ultimately acceptance in 12 essays spanning her life in Queens, NY, as a first-generation Jamaican American."
