Autobiography about the authors' process of both becoming a feminist and accepting rage as a feminist superpower. According to the author black women need to embrace this process more in order to bring progress and change. She argues that feminism can give black women and girls a common language to think about how sexism, racism and classism work together to call rage.

Women of color and feminism
The author examines the question of how women of color experience feminism, and how race and socioeconomics can alter this experience. She discusses the intersectional nature of being a woman of color and a feminist, based on profiles of historical women of color (including Hottentot Venus, Josefa Loaiza, and Anna Mae Pictou-Aquash) and also by reflecting on her own experiences in academia. The topics include sexuality, social movements and activism, violence, reproductive rights, popular culture, identities and love.

Unapologetic
The book challenges those engaged in the social justice struggle to make the movement for black liberation more radical, more queer and more feminist. This book looks at how social justice movements can become sharper and more effective. It provides a framework for activists committed to building transformative power, encouraging young people to see themselves as visionaries and leaders. It draws on black intellectual and grassroots organizing traditions, including the Haitian Revolution, the US civil rights movement and LGBTQ rights and feminist movements.

Hip Hop's inheritance
This book describes what hip hop culture has 'inherited' from the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts movement, the Feminist Art movement, and 1980s and 1990s postmodern aesthetics. By comparing and contrasting the major motifs of the cultural aesthetic traditions with those of hip hop culture, all the while critically exploring the origins and evolution of black popular culture from antebellum America through to 'Obama's America', the book demonstrates that the Hip Hop generation is not the first generation of young black folk preoccupied with spirituality and sexuality, race and religion, entertainment and athletics, or ghetto culture and bourgeois culture.
