Book excerpt: Dear Little Black Girl is a book about young melanated girls knowing their worth, knowing that each part of them from the inside out is special and unique. It is there for them to understand their worth and that they are special in their own way and should reach for the stars to accomplish all the goals that they set out to achieve. It is never too early to know who you are and what the basics of your makeup are. It makes you special and unique, and I believe all little girls should know that no matter what adversities they may cross, they should keep their heads up high and walk proudly toward the sun.
