Queenie

by Candice Carty-Williams

Hello! Welcome to this insight of what Queenie is thinking, and why. Writing this novel kind of felt easy in ways because so many of the ways that me and my Black female friends think, and our experiences, came pouring out. In a way, writing it was a cathartic, often painful, often funny journey, and it’s my pleasure to show you some of the ways that I think, and how being a Black woman has shaped me, and in turn, Queenie. Though, we are very different people. Please remember that, I beg of you.
