On December 10th 2009, The Washington Post published a front-page profile of Helena Andrews that was hugely popular and prompted responses from The Huffington Post, Jezebel, and Racialicious. In the article, “Single Minded Success,” Helena explained her work, life and love: “What I am trying to say about single black women is, you don’t know them as well as you think you do. They may not know themselves as well as they think they do.”
Her first book, a memoir told in parts titled Bitch Is the New Black, chronicles Helena’s journey from the kidnapped daughter of the town lesbian to the Washington reporter who can’t remember a single senator’s name, to the girl who runs her love life on G-chat. Don’t miss your chance to meet this hilarious and provocative author.
