Requests:  0 Summary:  "Pop culture is the Pandora's Box of our lives. Racism, wealth, poverty, beauty, inclusion, exclusion, and hope -- all of these intractable and unavoidable features course through the media we consume. Examining pop culture's impact on her life, Nichole Perkins takes readers on a rollicking trip through the last twenty years of music, media and the internet from the perspective of one southern Black woman. She explores her experience with mental illness and how the TV series Frasier served as a crutch, how her role as mistress led her to certain internet message boards that prepared her for current day social media, and what it means to figure out desire and sexuality and Prince in a world where marriage is the only acceptable goal for women. Combining her sharp wit, stellar pop culture sensibility, and trademark spirited storytelling, Nichole boldly tackles the damage done to women, especially Black women, by society's failure to confront the myths and misogyny at its heart, and her efforts to stop the various cycles that limit confidence within herself. By using her own life and loves as a unique vantage point, Nichole humorously and powerfully illuminates how to take the best pop culture has to offer and discard the harmful bits, offering a mirror into our own lives"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 810.9896 Perkins Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 810.9896 Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Biography B Perkins Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Perkins Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList
