First, Nichole Perkins is a great audiobook narrator (she is a podcaster, so it makes sense). But the disadvantage of an audiobook is that it's hard to skip past the parts I didn't like (particularly an essay about the white men she's dated where she makes some very dumb generalizations). I thought since the title of this book is a Beyonce lyric that the book would be more about pop culture, but it was mostly very personal. She has some very eyebrow-raising takes on sex and Kermit the Frog. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"Pop culture is the Pandora's Box of our lives. Racism, wealth, poverty, beauty, inclusion, exclusion, and hope -- all of these intractable and unavoidable features course through the media we consume. Examining pop culture's impact on her life, Nichole Perkins takes readers on a rollicking trip through the last twenty years of music, media and the internet from the perspective of one southern Black woman. She explores her experience with mental illness and how the TV series Frasier served as a crutch, how her role as mistress led her to certain internet message boards that prepared her for current day social media, and what it means to figure out desire and sexuality and Prince in a world where marriage is the only acceptable goal for women. Combining her sharp wit, stellar pop culture sensibility, and trademark spirited storytelling, Nichole boldly tackles the damage done to women, especially Black women, by society's failure to confront the myths and misogyny at its heart, and her efforts to stop the various cycles that limit confidence within herself. By using her own life and loves as a unique vantage point, Nichole humorously and powerfully illuminates how to take the best pop culture has to offer and discard the harmful bits, offering a mirror into our own lives"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
