100 Things Every Black Girl Should Know: For Girls 10-100

by Taura Stinson, Adah Glenn (Illustrator)

100 Things Every Black Girl Should Know is the quintessential collection of invaluable advice designed specifically for you, the young black girl trying to navigate her way through life, as well-seasoned woman looking to brush up on the essentials. This lighthearted but serious gem of a book has made an impact on various races (in testing), but the author wrote it from her perspective as a black woman who was once a young girl who wishes she knew then what she knows now. Since that isn’t possible, she has compiled some of her best and hardest lessons into ten chapters that each include ten “things you should know”, ranging from oral care to the inevitability of heartbreak. This book is intended to spark conversations and change the narrative between sister-friends, mothers and daughters, and womankind, alike.

Yaaaassss

I’d definitely recommend this book, i so wish I’d come across this book as a preteen. Majority of the things I read, I’ve already been through at some point in my life. I’d definitely recommend parents getting this for their preteens & teenagers ! It’s such a great read and there are some great quotes and motivational tips!

Wow not only was I captivated the but I was informed and motivated. This was the best book I’ve read in years!!! It was full of treasures and knowledge nuggets that I will use for a lifetime and pass it on to my Grand Children.

Uplifting, informative and empowering!!!

Loved this book!!! Very uplifting and informative. The author kept directing you to a workbook (journal) for you to stop and write down goals and aspirations. It was very empowering!!! I am 61 years young and can't wait to share this with my daughter, adult niece and especially my niece's teenaged daughter.

Mined a handful of thought-provoking bits from the book. However, it would've been very helpful if the author broke down her paragraphs a lot more or shortened them.
