Still, the job is flashy and her girlfriend is steady and supportive. The path may be long, but Mickeys well on her way, and its far from the messy life she left behind in Maryland. Everything finally seems to be falling into place--until she finds out shes being replaced.Distraught and enraged, Mickey fires back with a detailed letter outlining the racism shes endured as a Black woman in media, certain it will change the world for the better. But when her letter is met with overwhelming silence, even from her usually-encouraging girlfriend, Mickey is sent into a tailspin of self-doubt. Forced to reckon with just how fragile her life is, she flees to the last place she ever dreamed she would run: her hometown.Back home, Mickey is seduced by the simplicity of her hometown--and the flirtation of a former flame--but she soon learns that you cant outrun your past. In the newfound quiet, she is forced to reflect on the sacrifices shed made for an industry that never loved her back and pick up the pieces of the life she thought shed left behind for good. After all, when the walls of success youve carefully built around yourself come crumbling down, what--and who--are you left with? A meditation on identity, self-worth and the toll of corporate racism, Homebodies is a portrait of modern Black womanhood with a protagonist you wont soon forget.
