The white German graphic novelist Birgit Weyhe teaches at a US college through an academic exchange program. At a conference of American Germanists in the Midwest she is accused of cultural expropriation. Is she exploiting her privileges as a white writer when she tells stories about Black people? She meets Priscilla Layne an African American professor of German studies with Caribbean roots. Growing up Priscilla is labelled an 'Oreo': too white for her Black classmates and too Black for the white kids. Rebelling against everything and everyone all at once she joins the skinhead movement and becomes a rude girl only to discover a community where she feels valued. Music clothes hair food class race gender education - her life and identity are a complex composite. But how should Birgit Weyhe tell a life story like Priscilla's? What mistakes does she need to avoid? The act of storytelling itself becomes its own narrative layer in this unique graphic biography.
