This book is crucial for anyone who wants to be a part of the larger conversation about racial equality and equity. Black girls are increasingly left out of the BLM movement and the broader women’s rights movements and this book helps discuss one aspect that I think we can all help work forward on to stop the criminalization of black girls in schools and educations systems. Highly recommend reading especially if you are an educator or work with young black women.
