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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Perkins, Nichole. 650 0 $a African American authors $y 21st century $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American women authors $y 21st century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Podcasters $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 9 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314022737.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024428.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014837.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220305010354.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20211005011030.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211002013129.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210930010153.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010318.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210811010041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=65D86B64FA6911EB98C5017225ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
