Bad Fat Black Girl: Notes from a Trap Feminist

Similar to How to be an Antiracist in structure, moments in the author's life are a take off point to discussing in an academic yet approachable style, particular aspects of Black experience, in this case, Black women and trap feminism, and how these experiences are shaped by forces like racism, capitalism, the patriarchy. Bowen's messaging is less about combatting these forces on a large scale, and more about what has worked for her to create a fulfilling life while managing the influences of these forces. Also includes occasional pauses to introduce vocabulary. 
More assertive in tone, perhaps, than The Body is Not an Apology, but I think there are similarities in the important messages coming from the same place of love. 
I especially appreciated the look into the necessary pairing of both knowing the importance of vulnerability and understanding the need to set boundaries and standards; black girl sexuality and sex positivity - the need for information and not shaming to keep young Black women healthy and safe; and addressing sex work - perhaps the area most in need of more people listening to practitioners rather than surrendering to preconceived ideas, especially when considering policy.
