ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Other Black Girl" by Zakiya Dalila Harris follows Nella, a young Black editorial assistant at a predominantly white publishing house, Wagner Books. Nella is excited to be working at Wagner, but she begins to realize how systemic racism and exploitation of Black talent are prevalent in the industry. She discovers that she is being monitored, along with other Black women at the company, by her boss, Richard, and her seemingly supportive colleague, Hazel. The narrative explores themes of tokenism, code-switching, and the commodification of the Black voice. Nella's experiences lead her to question the true motives of her coworkers, and the nature of her own goals. The story delves into the complex dynamics of workplace politics and the struggle for authenticity in a system that seeks to control and limit diverse voices.
