★ Why Is This Book Necessary For The Black Girls and Women in Your Life?:


We live in the 21st century, yet positive representation for Black girls and women is still rare. One could say it has gotten worse over the years. We see Black women and even girls being painted as the faces of Black protest against white supremacy, and dangerous messages like the abolition of the police. They are placed on the frontlines like a warrior class, as though they are not vulnerable to violence like women and girls of other races. Even Black male artists have depicted Black girls as monsters, vampires, attacking law enforcement. While this imagery was created to be empowering, in reality, it damages the self-image of Black women and girls, puts their lives at risk, and perpetuates negative stereotypes. They are seen as less feminine, less beautiful beings whose strength rivals that of men, in order to justify inflicting violence on them.
