This book of poems and short stories digs deep into the subject of blackness through the author's eyes, demonstrating how blackness is celebrated collectively. Areas of commonality include, but are not limited to slavery, racial injustice, music, literature, etc. We are also taken into an emotional journey of how blackness affects the author's community, family, and herself as a child. My Blackness is guaranteed to make you fall in love with what the word community truly means. You learn what it means to live in public housing projects on the South side of Chicago, and at the same time have a community built upon the pillar and foundation of a loving grandmother.
