This impressive and enjoyable debut poetry collection by American-Tamil poet Selvi M. Bunce and Ugandan poet Mimi Mutesa is enriched with unique illustrations by Mimi. It is a fiery challenge to preconceptions of race and relationships through poems of autobiography and self-empowerment. These poems are bold, humorous, and uninhibited, charting revelatory journeys through the complexities of identity, family, love, and independence. 'Dedicated to all of us who are bad, brown and brazen.'
