Until twenty-four hours ago, Mickey Hayward was living the life she’d always dreamed of. She was working for a popular media company, and she was in a committed loving relationship.

Now she’s fired, tossed aside for a younger, more ‘agreeable’ Black writer. Sick of being overlooked, she responds with an online letter detailing the racism she’s faced within the industry. And when a media scandal turns Mickey’s post into a viral sensation, suddenly everyone wants to hear what she has to say.

That’s what Mickey has always wanted – isn’t it?
