Black Queer Hoe

From an award-winning and "stunningly talented" writer, reflections on the line between sexual freedom and sexual exploitation (Samantha Irby, New York Times-bestselling author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life).

Women's sexuality is often used as a weapon against them. In this refreshing, unapologetic debut, award-winning performance poet and playwright Britteney Black Rose Kapri lends her unmistakable voice to fraught questions of identity, sexuality, reclamation, and power in a world that refuses black queer women permission to define their own lives and boundaries. Black Queer Hoe is a powerful intervention into important and ongoing conversations.

"In a debut crackling with energy, honesty, and wit, Kapri moves to reclaim elements of language surrounding women's sexuality, especially that of black women . . . Kapri assails the ways social norms are routinely used to blame girls and women for the moral failures of boys and men. Embracing the intimacy of a confessional and the sting of a viral tweet, Kapri unabashedly celebrates the various facets of her self and refuses to serve as anyone's martyr." -Publishers Weekly
