Blackwildgirl: A Writer’s Journey to Take Back Her Superpower is the chronicle of one woman's life in America and the African diaspora. Menah Pratt tells her history through twelve stages of an initiation journey spanning from her childhood in Normal, Illinois to the present day forty-five years later. Not only does she tell her life story, but she invites readers to tell their stories through the reflection questions she asks at the end of each stage. By sharing her words and revelations, Pratt encourages readers to write and tell the stories of their journeys through the wilderness and how they have healed and can heal from the other side.
If there is one book every black woman needs to read in her life, it's Menah Pratt's Blackwildgirl. She puts into words the emotions and frustrations many of us struggle to verbalize, even to ourselves. She doesn't preach to her readers about what black women see and fight against daily; she recognizes that women already do that regularly by laying out her life and struggles growing up as a black woman in America. She offers her book as an extension of her Doutorando for us – for those who have no safe space to pour out their hearts and souls, who need to take the weight of the world off their shoulders for even a moment. Pratt invites us to find ourselves and our inherent power as she found hers. She shows how her journey from childhood to adulthood is also our journey and other women's journeys from bearing the world to being the world.
