Race with love and confidence. Carrie K Thomas

"Race with love and Confidence" Is a body of poems that reflects body positivity, finding love and sexuality; while being a woman who is black, and mixed in America. The poems demonstrate metaphorically how it feels to be alone, and hurt from people in love. How fantastic a curvy girl builds confidence from watching the likes of her grandmother. And the complexity for being black. The collective body of poems exemplifies triumph and take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and feelings.
