Most girls spend most of their time at school. If real change comes from hearing our voices, it has to start in school, but school is a place where black girls tend to experience microaggressions. Microaggressions are not always obvious, ugly, or terrible things, but they make you feel as though your voice does not matter.

Girls of color and young women need to be seen, heard, and valued. Schools can help make this happen by including our stories in the curriculum.
