Presented with a group of eligible male bachelors, her courting process is documented through livestreams, social media, and a series of orchestrated dates.
"Documenting contemporary Black/African Canadian life is important to us, so our stories reflect a range of cultures, sub-cultures, characters, and experiences within the city of Toronto during the 90s, early 2000s, and present time. Through the fiction of SM Robinson and Kamilah Haywood, our catalogue of books features themes of relationships, self-love, human trafficking, Caribbean carnival, incarceration, coming of age, friendship, marriage, and the entertainment industry, all with a focus on development, growth, and self-awareness."
