Their stories touch on important social issues surrounding racism, classism, fetishisation, and tokenism, exploring how each of these women uniquely navigates white-dominated society.“Beautifully complex and deftly drawn… a sexy, surprising, searing debut about love, loss, desire, and the many dimensions of Black womanhood.”—Deesha PhilyawLọlá Ákínmádé Åkerström’s In Every Mirror She’s Black is published by Head of Zeus and available now.
