About
This perzine addresses LaMesha Melton's many roles in life: as a pregnant African-American woman, a single mother, graduate student, and sexual being. She discusses her body image issues involving both her "nappy" hair and weight, her participation in online pro-anorexia communities, her current pregnancy, defying gender stereotypes in raising her son, being "one of the Goddess's whore priestesses," and a positive sexual encounter she had with a group of men. She also includes short diary entries, an IM transcript, a letter to Shakira about how she is her "thinspiration," and a Cocoa/Puss Manifesta addressed to black women.
