Synopsis

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DEFY WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT YOU AND REALLY BECOME A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH? Fighting for respect is what Kenya Blades does every day as the Greensboro Sun Times’ talented multimedia reporter. Her fighting spirit is the reason why she’s one of the best reporters in the city. But when that same fight triggers a brawl at a media gala, Kenya is transferred to a sister paper that is trying to solve a diversity problem and close out an investigation on their hiring practices. Despite Kenya’s efforts to make the most out of a fresh start, Inquirer editor Randy Krause does everything in his power to break Kenya’s spirits and drive her out just because her presence threatens the newsroom. During her stop at the Inquirer, Kenya is forced to question her place as a black woman in the media and whether she wants to continue to fight discrimination and marginalization at every turn or be the change that she’s been wishing for - to cause the effect instead of being affected by what the media conglomerates cause. Uppity is a raw story told with style, brash wit, and an ounce of humor—a novel that captures the conflicts and politics of the workplace which African-American women may face at times. It marks the emergence of a new voice in fiction.
