black girl no magic: Reflections...

Kimberly McIntosh

'This book is a glowing achievement by one of the best essayists of her generation' Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff
‘Witty, fresh and full of life’ Liv Little
Kimberly McIntosh has lived a full life, with a loving family, messy friendships, mind-expanding travel and all-night parties. She’s also spent that life wondering why such opportunities aren’t always available to people who look like her.
Stemming from years of social policy research and campaign work, this essay collection brings together all that Kimberly has learned; whether that’s dismantling the myth of social mobility for those who toe the line, to understanding why her teenage Facebook posts are quite so cringe. In it, she uses her own experiences to reveal how systematic injustice impacts us all, from the pressure of nuclear families, to enduring toxic friendships, to how painful it can be to watch Love Island.
Perfect for fans of Slay In Your Lane, Trick Mirror, and Bad Feminist, this dazzling debut collection brilliantly melds the personal and political to not only tell the story of a life, but what that life might teach us.
In Black Girl, No Magic, Kimberly McIntosh masterfully weaves her autobiography with a sharp critique of media and internet culture, highlighting the stark realities of relationships in the digital age. Her memoirs, filled with humour and wit, are a top pick for fans of non-fiction essays and collections.
For fans of Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), and Kenny Imafidon (That Peckham Boy).
