"'My bum is genetic deal with it' is a one-woman poedra (dramatised poetry) theatrical piece performed by Napo Masheane. The book tells of a story of a young black woman with big bums and an ordinary African body. Her quest is to recruit other women around the world to join her new political party (Buddies United In Movement) A.K.A the BUM. She urges other voluptuous women to take note that South Africa is importing clothes that do not reflect the majority of black women bodies. Thus, the character is challenging the South African fashion industry and media; local magazines, the television and film industries, and including pharmaceutical companies. But mostly, her political party (Buddies United In Movement) acts as a voice of resistance against what the world sets as the standards of beauty, which often neglects the beauty one finds in the curves and bums of an African woman's body"--Publisher's description.
