Strong Black Girls lays bare the harm Black women and girls are
expected to overcome in order to receive an education in America.
It captures the routinely muffled voices and experiences of these
students through storytelling, essays, letters, and poetry. The
authors make clear that the strength of Black women and girls
should not merely be defined as the ability to survive racism,
abuse, and violence. Readers will also see resistance and
resilience emerge through the central themes that shape these
reflective, coming-of-age narratives. Each chapter is punctuated by
discussion questions that extend the conversation around the
everyday realities of navigating K-12 schools, such as sexuality,
intergenerational influence, self-love, anger, leadership,
aesthetic trauma (hair and body image), erasure, rejection, and
unfiltered Black girlhood. Strong Black Girls is essential reading
for everyone tasked with teaching, mentoring, programming, and
policymaking for Black females in all public institutions.Book
Features: A spotlight on the invisible barriers impacting Black
girls' educational trajectories. A survey of the intersectional
notions of strength and Black femininity within the context of K-12
schooling. Narrative therapy through unpacking system stories of
oppression and triumph. Insights for building skills and tools to
make substantial and lasting change in schools.
