Black Love Matters : Real Talk on Romance, Being Seen, and Happily Ever Afters

Description

Jessica Pryde is the editor of Black Love Matters, an incisive, intersectional essay anthology that celebrates and examines Black Romance, with contributions from Black readers and writers with varying interests and experiences in the worlds of Black love and romance. She is the cohost of the “When in Romance” podcast, is a contributing editor for Book Riot, and a librarian for a public library in Arizona.
