About The Other Black Girl
Nella Rogers is the only Black employee at Wagner Books—until Hazel is hired as a new editorial assistant. Initially, Nella is elated: Finally, she won’t be the only one dealing with the deeply ingrained bigotry of her all-white Manhattan workplace.
But things take an unexpected turn. Unlike Nella, Hazel is beloved by all. And, as their paths continue to diverge, mysterious, threatening notes begin to appear on Nella’s desk. Is Hazel the one leaving the notes? What’s really going on with the new star employee?
Satirical and sharp, Zakiya’s thrilling debut novel keeps you guessing. Learn how the author’s experiences informed her writing as she talks candidly about corporate America, the need for inclusivity, and the painful decisions people face when choosing between “self” and “success.”
