She grew up Black, weird, and overwhelmingly uncool in a mostly white neighborhood in upstate New York, which created its own identity crises. Under the eye-rolling, foul-mouthed, loving tutelage of her uncompromising grandmother--and the horror movies she obsessively watched--Danielle grew into a tall, awkward, Sassy-loving teenager who wore black eyeliner as lipstick and was struggling with the aftermath of her mother's choices. But she also learned that she had the strength and smarts to save herself, her grandmother gifting her a faith in her own capabilities that the world would not have most Black girls possess. With humor, wit, and deep insight, Danielle shares how she grew up and grew wise--and the lessons she's carried from those days to these. In the process, she upends our conventional understanding of family and redefines its boundaries to include the millions of people who share her story."-- $c Provided by the publisher. 600 10 $a Henderson, Danielle. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2012104744 650 0 $a African American women $z New York (State) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women television writers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Grandparents as parents $z New York (State) 651 0 $a New York (State) $x Race relations. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l XIPA157 $d 20240111060251.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025014900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3AA4627872FC11EE80D9CCAA24ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LVYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
