She grew up Black, weird, and overwhelmingly uncool in a mostly white neighborhood in upstate New York, which created its own identity crises. Under the eye-rolling, foul-mouthed, loving tutelage of her uncompromising grandmother--and the horror movies she obsessively watched--Danielle grew into a tall, awkward, \u003ci\u003eSassy\u003c\/i\u003e-loving teenager who wore black eyeliner as lipstick and was struggling with the aftermath of her mother's choices. But she also learned that she had the strength and smarts to save herself, her grandmother gifting her a faith in her own capabilities that the world would not have most Black girls possess. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With humor, wit, and deep insight, Danielle shares how she grew up and grew wise--and the lessons she's carried from those days to these. In the process, she upends our conventional understanding of family and redefines its boundaries to include the millions of people who share her story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanielle Henderson is a TV writer (\u003ci\u003eManiac\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDare Me\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHarper House\u003c\/i\u003e), retired freelance writer, and a former editor for \u003ci\u003eRookie\u003c\/i\u003e.
