Written as a collection of vignettes and poetry, The Unboxing of a Black Girl is a creative nonfiction reflection on Black girlhood. The debut YA title, by award-winning author Angela hant 233, is a love letter to Black girls et in New York City and serves as a personal and political critique of how the world raises Black girls. As hant 233 navigates the city through memory, he balances poetry with vignettes that explore the innocence and joy of childhood eroded by adultification. Through this book, he illuminates the places where Black girls are nurtured or exploited in stories and poems about personal and political boxes, love, loss, and sexual assault. Many entries are also studded with cultural footnotes designed to further understanding.

A beautiful "unboxing" journey!

The book was such a beautiful read. I found it hard to put down as the author took me on this “unboxing” journey. I resonated with many of the stories reflecting on my adolescence as a Black girl. She painted a beautiful picture of NYC and her love for that city. The authenticity of each story was felt. I also love the footnotes and the encouragement to read certain pieces out loud. It’s a book I would actually read again under a cozy blanket with a fresh cup of tea.
