Black History Month: Literary Thursdays: Brianna Holt, Author of “In Our Shoes”

Part memoir and part cultural critique, “In Our Shoes: On Being a Young Black Woman in Not-So ‘Post-Racial’ America” uses pop culture and author Brianna Holt’s own lived experience to dissect the stereotypes and preconceived notions that young Black women must overcome in America today. In this fresh exploration of cultural appropriation, “wokeness,” tone policing, and more, Holt carefully dismantles myths about Black womanhood, allowing readers to assess their biases while examining the roles Black millennial women are forced to take on simply to survive. A history, a work of criticism, a piece of reporting, and a call to action, "In Our Shoes" is a timely exploration of race and womanhood that will entertain, inspire, and inform in equal measures.
