Vanilla is Actually Black" is a metaphor about history being whitewashed and how that would affect a person of color today. The book is loosely told through the perspective of a girl who was misidentified (Vanilla) and her journey to loving herself and her blackness.
It also explores themes in womanhood, sexuality, sensuality, love, spirituality, and mindfulness.
