The Games Black Girls Play: Learning the Ropes from Double Dutch to Hip-Hop

i am so behind in my reading, it's ridiculous! but I definitely want to read this.

I remember the day I learned to double-dutch. I was a late-bloomer, an 8th grader in Baltimore, Maryland. See there wasn't any double-dutching on the "streets" of West Orange, New Jersey, where I lived until 7th grade. Man. I would stay after school for hours double-dutching with some girls who became my friends strictly based on our admiration for the activity.

Those were good days.
