In 2013, film and culture critic Zeba Blay was one of the first people to coin the viral term #carefreeblackgirls on Twitter. As she says it was a way to carve out a space of celebration and freedom for Black women online. In this collection of essays Carefree Black Girls Blay expands on this initial idea by delving into the work and lasting achievements of influential Black women in American culture - - writers artists actresses dancers hip - hop stars - - whose contributions often come in the face of bigotry misogyny and stereotypes. Blay celebrates the strength and fortitude of these Black women while also examining the many stereotypes and rigid identities that have clung to them.
