This book is not just another body positivity book on the market; it is packed with sass and, most importantly, plenty of ass! With a blend of tongue-in-cheek humor, earnest tips, and a historical journey, this book aims to teach you how to celebrate and love your natural body (and perhaps explore what some people buy). The content is comprehensive, covering the origin of B.C. (butt culture), gluteus health, the formation of the body positivity movement, butts in pop culture, and how to pamper your behind. There is a focus on music, particularly the role of Black culture, especially hip-hop, in transforming wider culture's perception of butts from shunning to loving them. The book also delves into the fetishization of Black bodies, fatphobia, and plastic surgery.

Throughout the book, you will find inspirational quotes from champions of body positivity, including Nicki Minaj, Lizzo, Rihanna, and Laverne Cox. Additionally, there are juicy breakdowns on the rise of celebrities like the Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez, and more.

My Anaconda Don't! is not only entertaining but also educational, leaving you laughing out loud. The pages are adorned with vibrant, full-color illustrations by Latinx illustrator Iliana Galvez (@growmija), based in Houston, Texas. Her artwork is a love letter to Black and Brown people, conveying messages of self-love and empowerment.
