Tressie McMillan Cottom’s second book is an intricate collection of raw experiences, thought-provoking questions and intellectual discussions on subjects that revolve around one central theme, Black womanhood. THICK: and Other Essays is not a light read, but it isn’t academically dense either; the eight essays featured are written in such a way that eases the reader into each piece, then lightly begins the process of deeper examination and reflection.
