The Miseducation of a 90’s Baby

With the humor of millennial Samantha Irby, Khaholi Bailey’s debut essay collection about the 90’s and beyond will invoke the not-so-nostalgic nostalgia.

90’s kids were raised by a sparse and slow internet, cable TV and adults who say the darndest things. Some learned that weed is the gateway to insanity, that people of the cloth would never disrobe you, or to hope for inconspicuous, tiny tits.

Khaholi Bailey was taught as much and more, only to discover that the dank green does God’s work and a well-timed catcall could make her day. Through her family, as much as from MTV and New York, Khaholi discovers that right from wrong is a matter of time, place and whomever’s asking.

In frank and comedic essays, Khaholi shares the vulnerability (and sometimes grace) that comes from aging in a rapidly changing world. The Miseducation of a 90’s Baby will give you all the lols and feels, and she might even teach you something along the way.

Khaholi Bailey’s essays and fiction have appeared in Catapult, Breadcrumbs, Midnight and Indigo and Flapperhouse. Miseducation of a ’90s Baby is her first book. She lives in New York City.
