Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic by Jestine Ware, CaShawn Thompson, Diana Odero, Lilly Workneh, Sonja Thomas
5.0
I'm a huge fan of all the Rebel Girls books. It's inspiring to read about the story of so many incredible women who made our world a better place.
"Life Tales of Black Girl Magic" is even more special, because these women had to face not only sexism, but also racism. And still, they managed to show their power and skills. I wish I could buy this book for all the black young girls, just so they can always have a reminder of their strength, no matter what the haters say.
And I love this quote: "As I’ve grown up and now understand the world in a more adult way, I’ve come to realize that what I believed to be magic as a little girl was really the hard work, intelligence, strength, and love of the Black women around me. It is magical to see them spread their light in spite of the obstacles they have faced."
