Young black women feeling awkward

We recently discussed an episode of Issa Rae's web series Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. The episode and series led us to talk about folks who feel out of place even in places with folks like themselves.

The fellows are producing short write-ups about young black women feeling awkward in a room full of other black women, folks seemingly like themselves.
