Dear Girl, Black Girl, rise up, it’s time

Radiant and fierce, a brilliant young mind

A mind filled with wonder, creativity and dreams

Shape your own history like these amazing queens

From Kamala Harris to Wilma Rudolph and from Rosa Parks to Miriam Mekaba, this is an uplifting and beautiful introduction to the strong women who have touched our history.
