A Black woman stretched across the yellow line in the middle of the street—it’s a striking image, one that captures the way so many of us feel in America today: proverbially like roadkill. Run over by politics, ignored in healthcare, dismissed in workplaces, blamed in public, and targeted simply for existing. Yet even in that image, there is beauty, resilience, and undeniable strength. That’s the story of Black womanhood—our ability to rise even when the world tries to flatten us.

Slightly Unbothered, Mostly Anxious is a witty, raw, and unapologetic reflection on what it means to be a middle-aged Black woman in today’s climate. From navigating microaggressions and colorism to raising children in uncertain environments, from battling healthcare inequities to role-playing responses for inevitable encounters with racism, this book blends humor, honesty, and survival strategies. It’s part memoir, part social commentary, and part guidebook for women who know that every day requires resilience, strategy, and just the right amount of unbothered energy.

This is not a tale of defeat—it’s a testament to power. With candid stories, cultural truths, and reflective commentary, India Trotter invites listeners to walk the fine line of living in a society that often tries to erase us while celebrating the brilliance, aura, and magnetic force that is Black womanhood.

In a world that keeps pushing us to the margins, Slightly Unbothered, Mostly Anxious pulls us back to the center—reminding us that even in the middle of the road, we are still radiant, still strong, and still here.
