The book explores aspects of the Black experience in America, from Black woman pride, Nat Turner, kneeling, and the burning down of fast-food restaurants. Sometimes funny, sometimes biting, \u003ci\u003eHow to Survive the Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e connects history to the contemporary and in the writing proves that the only balm for rage is creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJACQUELINE ALLEN TRIMBLE lives and writes in Montgomery, Alabama.
