An essential and timely anthology of black British writing, edited and curated by the authors of the acclaimed and ground-breaking Slay In Your Lane. Slay in Your Lane Presents: Loud Black Girls features essays from the diverse voices of twenty established and emerging black British writers. "I so enjoyed stepping inside the minds of these younger women who have so much to say, so much to express, so much to challenge," said Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other. "Being a loud black girl isn't about the volume of your voice; it's about using your voice to challenge the status quo and make your mark on the world." "Now that we've learned how to Slay in our Lanes, what's next?" asked Yomi Adegoke and Elizabeth Uviebinené, authors of the acclaimed Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible. "We invite the next generation of black women in Britain – authors, journalists, actors, activists, and artists – to explore what it means to them to exist in these turbulent times." "From assessing the cultural impact of Marvel's Black Panther to celebrating activism in local communities, from asking how we can secure the bag while staying true to our principles to how we can teach our daughters to own their voices, to reclaiming our culinary heritage, the essays in Loud Black Girls offer funny, touching, and ultimately insightful perspectives on the question of 'What's Next?'" "Foreword by Bernardine Evaristo"
