Rantings of a Frustrated Black Woman: Ebony Musings: A Black Woman's Perspective

Introduction to “Rantings of a Frustrated Black Woman” Book Series

Welcome to the Rant
Let’s get this out the way: if you picked up this book expecting sugar-coated wisdom, polite hand-wringing, or inspirational quotes plastered over filtered sunsets—put it down now. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

If you’re still here, good. Because this book (and this series) is for those of us who have had enough. Enough of the fake smiles. Enough of shrinking ourselves to fit palatable stereotypes. Enough of the world demanding that we be strong, silent, perfect, and above all—grateful to just be in the room.

This is “Rantings of a Frustrated Black Woman”, and it’s exactly what it says on the cover. Inside, you’ll find real stories—complete with laughter, cussing, ugly crying, wild triumphs, and that distinctly sharp sense of humor born from navigating a world that sometimes feels like it was not designed for us. Chapters packed with stories you’ll recognize, advice you never got, and the kind of truth that tastes as good as it stings.

• We’ll air out microaggressions at the office, the never-ending tightrope walk between being “strong” and just being human, what it’s like to never be able to have a bad hair day—and all the moments in between.
• There will be satire, side-eyes, and perhaps a few things your aunties warned you never to say in public.
• This is where you’ll find the “Clapback Corners” for those moments you need a snappy comeback, “Truth Tea” for raw advice, and guest rants from phenomenal Black women whose stories deserve the loudest mic.

I wrote this not just to vent, but to connect. Whether you’re a Black woman who’s tired of playing nice, or someone ready to learn what life really feels like on our side of the table—welcome. Pull up a chair. Grab a glass (or three). It’s about to get gloriously real.
Because yes, we’re frustrated. But we’re also here, still laughing, still loving, still living—and very much ready to rant.

Let’s begin.
