A Black woman stretched across the yellow line in the middle of the street—it’s a striking image, one that captures the way so many of us feel in America today: proverbially like roadkill. Run over by politics, ignored in healthcare, dismissed in workplaces, blamed in public, and targeted simply for existing. Yet even in that image, there is beauty, resilience, and undeniable strength. That’s the story of Black womanhood—our ability to rise even when the world tries to flatten us.

Slightly Over It, Mostly Anxious isn’t your typical “how-to” dating guide—it’s a raw, witty survival manual for women navigating life and love after 50. With humor, honesty, and hard-won wisdom, it offers a front-row seat to the messy, awkward, and unforgettable reality of being single in midlife. From awkward swipes to unsolicited “surprises” in your DMs, from men who think shirtless selfies are a flex to those who open with “why are you single?”, this book calls out the nonsense with sharp wit and refreshing candor. Beyond the laughs, it’s real talk about confidence, standards, and joy.
