For Black Girls Who Feel Ebony And Essence Are Not Enough is a stimulating collection of poetry covering one black girl's experience with sex, love, violence, racism, religion, keeping her head above water, and making a wave when she can in "Good Times" and bad. For Black Girls Who Feel Ebony and Essence Is Not Enough is a spiritual renaissance with balanced rage and peace with expressed warmth, love, anger and pain of the black female. This book tampers with the perception of black women as a giver and recipient of love.
