My name is 'J' and I'm awkward--and Black. Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone could be. That someone was right. Where do I start? Being an introvert in a world that glorifies cool isn't easy. But when Issa Rae, the creator of the Shorty Award- winning hit series The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, is that introvert--whether she's navigating love, work, friendships, or 'rapping'--it sure is entertaining. Now, in this debut collection of essays written in her witty and self-deprecating voice, Rae covers everything from cybersexing in the early days of the Internet to deflecting unsolicited comments on weight gain, from navigating the perils of eating out alone and public displays of affection to learning to accept yourself-- natural hair and all. A reflection on her own unique experiences as a cyber pioneer yet universally appealing, The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is a book no one-- awkward or cool, black, white, or other--will want to miss"--|cProvided by publisher 600 10 Rae, Issa 650 0 African American young women|vBiography 650 0 Young women|zUnited States|vBiography 650 0 Introverts|zUnited States|vBiography 650 0 African Americans|vBiography 650 0 Senegalese Americans|vBiography 650 0 African American young women|xSocial life and customs 650 0 Clumsiness|xSocial aspects|zUnited States 650 0 African American young women|vHumor 650 7 HUMOR / Form / Essays.|2bisacsh 650 7 HUMOR / Topic / Relationships.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Cultural Heritage.|2bisacsh 650 7 Unga kvinnor|2sao 650 7 Introversion|2sao 650 7 Afro-amerikaner|2sao 653 Introverta människor 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Humor|2saogf 655 7 Biografi|2saogf 655 7 Essäer|2saogf 907 00 170119
