The Side Effects of Being the Token Black Girl ft. Danielle Prescod

“You become a symbol greater than yourself, you become a symbol signaling that an institution, a community, a town, a hobby, is not racist.” - Danielle Prescod

Writer, content creator, and businesswoman Danielle Prescod is back for her third interview with Naked Beauty, and this time, we’re sitting down to discuss her first book, Token Black Girl. Reflecting on her experiences growing up as the only Black girl in a predominantly white community, Danielle has been able to break down the emotions that so many Black girls (myself included) have felt when being othered so early in life. Tune in as we do a deep dive into her journey navigating body dysmorphia, going from “pet” to “threat” in the workplace, falling in love with LeLabo fragrances, and so much more.
