Naked by Ayana Byrd
Candid, witty and insightful, Naked is a compelling collection of essays that captures what today's black women think about their bodies - from head to toe. Tackling such issues as hair texture, skin colour, weight and sexuality, it follows women on their paths to acceptance - and enjoyment - of features unique to themselves to a place where it doesn't matter how big the breasts or how long the legs, only what is in their hearts. Includes contributions from Kelis, Iyanla Vanzant, Jill Nelson, ash bindle and Melissa Ford.
