In an online world dominated by white voices, Brooklyn-based stylist and blogger LaTonya Yvette has carved herself a platform to discuss everything from beauty, fashion and motherhood to the politics of white nationalism in President Trump’s America.
Her debut book, Woman of Color, combines her personal narrative with interviews and essays by other black women, creating a book that is inherently personal, political and feminine.
Drawing on her often difficult childhood, which included growing up with an abusive father, being bullied at school and navigating the journey of unexpected motherhood at a young age, LaTonya provides advice on how to honour the past while moving forward as a mother and woman of colour. Who is in your family?
There’s me, LaTonya (30), my daughter, River (8), and my son, Oak (5). We are lucky to have family who don’t live in our home but we are still close to and are part of our family unit, along with friends that my children are being raised around like family.
