Dear Black Girl was written as a poem, titled Little Black Girl, for young black girls ages 10 and older to address the issues of racism and sexism. The goal of the book is to create conversation between parents and caregivers and their children to begin a conversation regarding racism and sexism surrounding black girls growing up and living in America. Although black girls experience inequality for both race and gender, they are often ignored by social justice movements. The goal of this book is to give a voice to the young black girl struggle in an effort to begin the conversation of healing from generations of racial, sexist, and misogynistic stereotypes and treatment.
