Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be
Nichole Perkins
Grand Central Publishing
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. Combining her sharp wit, stellar pop culture sensibility, and trademark spirited storytelling, Perkins boldly tackles the damage done to women, especially Black women, by society’s failure to confront the myths and misogyny at its heart. 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.
