A review by jwinchell
For Black Girls Like Me by Mariama J. Lockington

4.0

A wonderful, empowering novel with a black, adopted 11 yo protagonist. It’s about music, being adopted, mental illness, schooling, experiencing race and microaggressions, friendship, making your own way. I liked the mixture of poetry, prose, journal entries, Tumblr entries. I look forward to book talking this great novel.
