In "Sellout" by Ebony Joy Wilkins, the story centers around a young Black woman, who grapples with her identity amidst the pressures of societal and familial expectations. As she navigates the complexities of race, class, and community, she faces the challenging decision of whether to conform to the norms that surround her or to pursue her authentic self. Through poignant storytelling and sharp wit, Wilkins explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and self-discovery, ultimately encouraging readers to embrace their true identities in a world that often demands compromise.
