Feminist AF is Young Adult Nonfiction for teen girls of color.

”Nanda was incredible to work with. She saw our project in ways that spoke to our experiences as Black women and to the communities we wanted to reach. She was so committed and dedicated to our project and truly believed in what we were doing and what our book was capable of. She was creative in her approach to marketing our book and the outlets we spoke to became the people who became the ground soldiers pushing and selling our book. I would absolutely work with her again. We left our book tour feeling full.
