Goodreads asked Tamura Lomax:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tamura Lomax It came over time...through experiences. It's about Jezebel the stereotype and the biblical figure and how they merge onto black women's bodies. I think my first thoughts on this project came about when I realized I was racialized and gendered, or really, that I was a black woman. We don't come into this world knowing that. There's typically an encounter with racism or sexism first.
