Deka - the Black girl protagonist from Namina Forna's The Gilded Ones - is a demon. After her blood runs gold instead of red during a purity ritual, she is labeled a demon by the men of Otera and cast out of her community, spirited away to a military training camp for other girls whose blood runs gold - alakis. She fights against her new dehumanized status. But, while Deka initially shuns the demon label, it is not until she begins enacting her demonhood - a distinct expression of her personhood - that she can subvert the expectations of her patriarchal society and rise above them, effectively freeing herself from the gendered confines of feminine respectability politics that polices all girls and women of Otera. This article aims to explain how Black girls, both real and imagined, defy, interrogate, and strategically embrace the labels forced on them to potentially free other girls and women from gendered mistreatment and violence to make change within their communities, societies, and imagined worlds.
