Candice Benbow is making waves in the blogosphere by reshaping the way Black girls think about love, faith, and femininity. In her new book, Red Lip Theology: For Church Girls Who’ve Considered Tithing to the Beauty Supply Store When Sunday Morning Isn’t Enough, she weaves excerpts from her own life to weave a charming reimagining of what it means to navigate modern life as a Black church-going woman.
