ReadWithMC Reviews 'Token Black Girl'
—a fashion insider's memoir on growing up in a very white, affluent part of Connecticut and, later, New York City. In the refreshingly frank memoir, Prescod examines her life as a Black woman forced to confront the influence of media and its effect on her mental health and body image. Using anecdotes from her own life, Prescod's memoir emphasizes the prevalence of white supremacy in our daily lives, and especially in the fashion and beauty industries. .
Readers like @booktherapyphilly also loved Prescod's ability to turn important conversations like racism and body image into accessible topics."Prescod writes like a best friend speaking candidly on something that was never openly discussed until very, very recently," they write. members so anyone else looking for their next great read has a collection of recommendations.
I personally loved the author’s ability to examine deeply internalised Racism, and the effects on her mental health and relationships with others, some of which was very relatable as a POC, others which have made me a better ally to the black community. She points out the faults of white supremacy and it’s prevalence in our daily lives and workplaces while vulnerably and gracefully admitting her mistakes along the way.
