This is a book for all the girls with an apostrophe in their name. This is for all the girls who are "too loud" and "too emotional." This is for all the girls who are constantly asked, "Oh, what did you do with your hair? That's new." This is for my Black girls. In this empowering and deeply personal collection-adapted from and expandedupon the piece of the same name in The Players' Tribune-WNBA star A'ja Wilson shares stories from her life. Despite gold medals, championships, and a list of accolades, Wilson knows how it feels to be swept under the rug. To not be heard, to not feel seen, to not be taken seriously. As a fourth grader going to a primarily white school in South Carolina, she was told she'd have to stay outside for a classmate's birthday party. "Huh?" she asked. Because the birthday girl's father didn't like Black people. Wilson tells stories like this: stories that held her down but didn't stop her. She shares her contribution to "The Talk," and how to keep fighting, all while igniting strength, resilience, and passion. Dear Black Girls is one remarkable author's necessaryand meaningful exploration of what it means to be a Black woman in America today-and an of-the-moment rally cry to lift up women and girls everywhere"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wilson, A'ja, $d 1996- 650 0 $a African American young women. $9 143434 650 0 $a Racism $z United States. $9 80946 650 0 $a Sexism $z United States. $9 84329 650 0 $a Success $z United States. $9 83469 941 $a 10 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011218.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240502011050.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012647.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024534.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011901.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240305011751.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240302010334.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224010931.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20240223010336.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231121010155.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA15A478883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
