520    "From the disability rights advocate and creator of the 
       #DisabledAndCute viral campaign, a thoughtful, inspiring, 
       and charming collection of essays exploring what it means 
       to be black and disabled in a mostly able-bodied white 
       America. Keah Brown loves herself, but that hadn't always 
       been the case. Born with cerebral palsy, her greatest 
       desire used to be normalcy and refuge from the steady 
       stream of self-hate society strengthened inside her. But 
       after years of introspection and reaching out to others in
       her community, she has reclaimed herself and changed her 
       perspective. In The Pretty One, Brown gives a contemporary
       and relatable voice to the disabled -- so often portrayed 
       as mute, weak, or isolated. With clear, fresh, and light-
       hearted prose, these essays explore everything from her 
       relationship with her able-bodied identical twin (called 
       'the pretty one' by friends) to navigating romance; her 
       deep affinity for all things pop culture--and her 
       disappointment with the media's distorted view of 
       disability; and her declaration of self-love with the 
       viral hashtag #DisabledAndCute. By 'smashing stigmas, 
       empowering her community, and celebrating herself' (Teen 
       Vogue), Brown and The Pretty One aims to expand the 
       conversation about disability and inspire self-love for 
       people of all backgrounds"--|cProvided by publisher.
