The Buzz: “Other Black Girls” and Racism in the Workplace

Posted by | Feb 10, 2022 | , | 0

The book The Other Black Girl by Zakiyah Harris has mixed reviews. *Warning: this essay will contain spoilers to the novel.* There are so many things to explore about this story: relationships between Black women, the publishing industry as a whole, workplace micro-aggressions, respectability politics, internalized racism, and so much more. The Other Black Girl is far from boring if you look at it from the right lens. A question that rose up for me while reading: Where do you draw the line when it comes to defining who/what is good for the Black community?

As we kick off Black History Month, now is a good time to lift up history in the making with President Joe Biden’s unprecedented commitment to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.

Whether fiction or nonfiction, narratives shape our world and our relationships with each other. They lay the foundations for how we perceive diversity, what inclusion looks like, whether people believe there’s a need for equity, and their resistance to the need for justice. How often do we think about how stories reach us or who writes them?
