Review: The Sista Hood: On the Mic by E-Fierce

 The Sista Hood on the Mic by E-Fierce

Purchase Links:

Amazon/Barnes & Noble/Goodreads

 I bought this book in August and after consuming it in less than a few days, I'm really disappointed in myself for taking such a long time to read it! It had everything a girl could ask for in a book! 

1.An Afro-Latina main character. 

2.Characters that come from a lower socio-economic background.

3.Queer female characters of color, especially Black and Latina characters of color.

4. Characters that reflected the Hip-Hop culture without being offensive, appropriating or stereotypical.

So if you guys dont know, we're huge supporters of f/f depictions in fiction. Much like m/m fiction, f/f focuses on relationships between women(mostly romantic, but can also be aromantic as well!)

But there's such a lack of representation within the genre, it frustrates us, especially because there aren't as much focusing on women in same sex relationships as men. It also frustrated us, upon searching far and wide, how negatively readers, particularly women, have painted f/f depictions in fiction.

This is not to say all readers feel this way, but I smell misogyny lurking around ^_^

So when I contacted GayYa if it was alright to do a guest post focusing on  f/f depictions in the media, I was so happy they allowed me a chance to come into their home!

They allowed me to pen "Women in Love" a post opening up a conversation about how women love in books, and how we're seen when we do.

Hope you guys check it out!
