Our quick summary
Candice Brathwaite throws light on the personal and the systemic issues for Black families in this insightful book. She tears apart every stereotype – everything that limits Black women in the term ‘baby mother’, everything that sells Black men short as partners and fathers. She ranges across the inequalities in healthcare, the bias in marketing and the media, the intersections of class and race, and the misconceptions that abound between generations and cultures, all the while maintaining whipsmart humour and abiding love for her family.
