I think I could talk about this graphic novel forever. I was laughing out loud in public, because it's literally my life vibrantly and so beautifully depicted through four beautiful Black women who are doing this thing called life together. The textures that are so intricately drawn, the colors, the expressions, I just felt so insanely KNOWN through each of these sketches. Also the story telling is so powerful. Like when Kim pulls the "curtain" back on the flashback to signal interrupting which happens in a group chat rant and rave, whew - I laughed and felt that really - so creative!

Davene's character and colors and expressions and just the reality of missing your hair appointment and what it may signal in terms of how you have to show up, just all of it. The depth was so wildly accurate and real. This is a graphic novel about sisterhood and crowns. Owning your truth and loving yourself and your girls for them and for the better. Solidarity and camaraderie. I just. I'm gonna read it again and laugh and cry. Because this is the real shit.

The ride or die.
