Slay in Your Lane

Main article: Slay in Your Lane

Slay in Your Lane, the Black Girl Bible was published by HarperCollins in July 2018. It discusses the challenges that black women face in a mainly white country.[5] Uviebinené had the idea to write Slay in Your Lane in 2015, and contacted her friend Yomi Adegoke.[6] She came up with the title for the book after a picture of Solange Knowles at fashion week surfaced, and Uviebinené texted it to Adegoke with the caption "SLAY IN YOUR LANE".[7] The publishing rights were won by HarperCollins after a nine-way auction.[5] The book was selected as Book of the Week by BBC Radio 4 in July 2018.[8] In April 2020, Uviebinené and Adegoke launched the 'Slay in Your Lane: The Podcast' which covered news and popular culture topics discussed within the book.[9]
