Entry updated 13 January 2025. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US "social media influencer" and author perhaps best known for her nonfiction Unashamed: Musings of a Fat, Black Muslim (2019). Her Union sequence beginning with The Impure (2016; rev vt The Union 2022) can be understood as a Thought Experiment depicting a Dystopian distant-Near Future America dominated by Blacks, who behave as badly towards other races (see Race in SF) as Confederate slaveholders (see Slavery) behaved in this world.
