Zoboi assembled seventeen short stories by seventeen leading Black authors of young-adult fiction — among them Jason Reynolds, Rita Williams-Garcia, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, and Zoboi herself — each taking up some facet of being young and Black in America now: suburban and city kids, queer kids, geeky kids, kids between countries and languages. The anthology was a deliberate answer to the idea that there is one way to be Black enough.
