Carefree Black Girls: A Celebration Of Black Women In Pop Culture | Carefree Black Girls Zeba Blay
4 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Carefree Black Girls is an exploration and celebration of black womens identity and impact on pop culture, as well as the enduring stereotypes they face, from a film and culture critic for HuffPost. In 2013, Zeba Blay was one of the first people to coin the viral term carefreeblackgirls on Twitter. It was, as she says, a way to carve out a space of celebration and freedom for black women online. In this collection of essays, Blay expands on that initial idea by looking at the significance of influential black women throughout history, including Josephine Baker, Michelle Obama, Rihanna, and Cardi B. Incorporating her own personal experiences as well as astute analysis of these famous women, Blay presents an empowering and celebratory portrait of black women and their effect on American culture. She also examines the many stereotypes that have clung to black women throughout history, whether it is the Mammy, the Angry Black Woman, or more recently, the Thot.

In 2013, Zeba Blay was one of the first people to coin the viral term “carefreeblackgirls” on Twitter. It was, as she says, “a way to carve out a space of celebration and freedom for black women online.” She discusses how culture forms how people view themselves. Carefree Black Girls is an honest journey of a black girl from unrealistic expectations and criticism to self-acceptance.

4/5 ⭐️ Great perspective of black women's lives through the connections of popular culture and media. This is by no means a light read though. It was much heavier than I was originally expecting. Luckily there is a content warning at the front of the book so I was prepared.
