About this listen

Confessions of a Token Black Girl is a snappy comedic tale framing Danielle's first-hand experiences in Wisconsin and other places as the perpetual "token Black girl", fraught with dark moments and hate crimes. It's a coming-of-age-story but instead of finding herself during a road trip, Danielle found herself through the effects of racism. This book humorously chronicles Danielle's quest for understanding what Black identity means to her - instead of what it means to everyone else.

Acid comedy to address racism and racialisation.
More to be said about the experience in Peru as racialisation in Latin America is perceived and the expectation that everybody knows what's going on in the US. But the passage has a point, centred in a particular narrative. Well.... A good read.

Sadly, up to this day a lot of us can relate to these stories. Having gone through it and knowing how much it affects adult life, I worry about our son. I am thankful these books exist to give us scope and add humour.

Light hearted, but to the point. She nailed it. What it is to be the token non-stereotypical black girl. The narrator was perfect!
