She actually came to My Grad school about a year ago and read from it. Pretty interesting book and subjects. Basically, she warns black women in the hip-hop generation not to fall for the notions of "independance" and "Power through sex" that many young women are falling for through the music and culture. The core unit in the black community is the family, which starts with healthy relationships between men and women. Independence in the hip-hop culture has become "hate your man" and more dangerously "hate yourself" when you believe the only redeeming quality about yourself if hyper-sexuality ( the academic term for skanky-ism
).
