Jasmine Man's T-Shirt: A Stylish Tee for the Modern Black Woman to Call Home

Harmony :): I’ve never felt so understood by another’s words or domestic experiences—just by the image of the cover, I was automatically taken back to my childhood. This lovely book will forever be on my mind.

Dee Dee: Jasmin Mans did a wonderful job writing these poetry pieces and having concern for the black girls culture, it was on fire, figuratively speaking!

Isabella: This book is exceptionally well written, and I have absolutely fallen in love with many of the verses.
[Excerpt: "God can’t always protect you/ from the boogie man/So some baby girls will reach the pearly gates/ and won’t be tall enough to turn the handle" (Jasmine Mans).]

I was originally looking at this book because I found some of her poems on Pinterest and I was not disappointed- I now own the audible, kindle, and paperback versions of this book. While I am unable to speak to the truthfulness or relatability for poems regarding Mans' race, I found poems regarding sexuality, sexual assault, and all other topics in the book to be relatable, well described, and well written.

Brisket: This book means so much to me, as a black woman. I love how relatable the writing is. It was a quick read since it is all written as poetry, but I find myself rereading this book once every few months.

Madeline: I am not sure how to feel about this collection of poems. As a privileged white woman some of the things mentioned I simply cannot relate to, but that does not in any way make what was written irrelevant. I often felt uncomfortable while reading. Hard topics are addressed in reference to race, religion, rape, and more. I’m sure some of it is over my head, but the parts that resonated with me were beautiful and I hope more people read this book. Just know it’s not fluffy and sweet, it’s deep and hard and shines a light on those uncomfortable (and often not talked about) corners of society.

SamanthaSamantha: I love a next day delivery, Saturday night I finally ordered Black Girl, Call Home 🖤

Jasmine Mans’s book of poems speaks volumes Black Girl Call Home is a gem, absolutely beautiful. Well-written, relatable with poems about Black hair, what a Black Mother expects of her Black Daughter, girlhood. Jasmine also speaks about racism, police brutality, the Birmingham bombings, assault, sexual violence, traumas, girl trafficking and lots more.

“A woman stretched her body for me, and I have no words to describe her in wholeness, but without shame, I want you to know her. My mother.”

I’ll recommend this over and over again because It’s a much-needed gem! uplifting and powerful. 👏🏾👏🏾

Jacqueline Robinson: It's amazingly specific, and yet so personal it feels like she's talking to you. I can relate to all of her poems and it reminds you, you aren't alone in this world with you experiences and struggles. It's uplifting and powerful. 💜
