A lyrical and affirming ode to Black girls. An ideal next read for fans of I Am Enough and the perfect gift for mothers and daughters, baby showers, and graduation.
Be, Black Girl, Be
Breathe in your truth. And never let anyone dull your shine.
With poetic text and exuberant artwork, this book is a wish from one generation to the next: that every Black girl knows and celebrates her worth.
Dr. Taylor Darks holds a Ph.D. in sociology from Florida State University. She writes stories that she would have loved as a child in hopes of inspiring the next generation of Black girls to feel confident in themselves. When she’s not writing or studying, she’s probably dreaming about Skyline Chili from her hometown of Cincinnati or getting inspired by the antics of her furry sidekicks, Gremlin, Luna, and Nonna.
