"full of the rituals, routines, and rites of Black girlhood all while paying homage to Los Angeles neighborhoods that may not be trimmed in lights but always manage to shine rainbow bright." - Bridgette Bianca, author of be/trouble Plenty of things in Zora's youth would seem strange to others, but they're perfectly normal to her.
