“My body is not a sight of sin. My body is a site of liberation. It was molded and shaped by God to be the vessel through which I pursue my divine purpose. To continue critiquing its natural proclivities as wrong is to question the divine construction of my members as a mistake.”

Respectability politics hold that conformity to mainstream standards of appearance and behavior will protect a person of a marginalized group from prejudice and systematic injustice. Black girlhood will always be on the outside of mainstream’s acceptable way of being. This places black girlhood in contrast to the basic concept of girlhood in general.

The introduction doesn’t have page numbers. I received this book [free from the publisher along with 11 other BIPOC authors] in March 2024. I believe this was a move of The Holy Spirit to grow my faith, open my eyes to injustice within Christianity, and teach me that I am unable love God greater than I am willing to love myself. This book is already off to a powerful start.
