Dear Black Girl, you’re perfect just as you are… It’s time to stop “fitting in” and finally find your place in the world as exactly the person you’re supposed to be.
Do you ever feel exhausted, not because of how long the day was or all the things you did in it… but because it seems like you had to spend a lot of it answering questions that other girls don’t have to answer or putting an effort into talking or walking a certain way?
This empathetic and empowering guide is here to help you. Written by an author who knows exactly what you’re going through, and packed with insightful and honest stories from her own life, it will help you to see the pain you’re holding—and more importantly, how to let it go.
Inside, you’ll discover:
Exactly what code-switching is… and why it’s time you wrote a new code
Why sharing more about your culture is so important in owning your personal history and connecting deeply with others
How to make peace with the parts of your appearance you’ve always felt haven’t “fit in”… and own them so that you find—and see—your own beauty
Why caring about how you look may not mean what you think it does… and how to embrace what feels true to you
The power of a community that understands you (and how you can find one)
Why you might sometimes feel insecure about your hair… and what you can do to reclaim your confidence in your authentic self
What your “energy budget” is… and how to use it to its maximum effect
How to find power in the present moment… and in yourself
An invitation to reflect and explore your experience through your own words—and plenty of space to do it
And much more.
