Flyy Girl

“I remember when I first read Flyy Girl, the urban classic by Omar Tyree. The book spread like wildfire, passed from one hand to the next through schools, libraries and neighborhoods and became a coming-of-age tale for brown girls like me, who rarely saw themselves represented in a novel…from the moment I opened it, I was transported into the vibrant world of Flyy Girl—a story that not only reflected my community and culture but also served as an unconventional tale for many brown girls who rarely, if ever, saw themselves or the ones they knew ‘around the way’ represented in good books. But this book Flyy Girl became a cornerstone of the culture because it opened the door for countless relatable stories to follow. While it holds a deep sense of nostalgia, its message and impact continue to resonate, ensuring it lives on generation after generation.” —Angelica Nwandu, Founder & CEO of The Shade Room
“In this addictive novel, the popular wordsmith [Tyree] introduces Tracy Ellison, a woman who discovers that all things glamorous come with a price.” —ESSENCE
