This edited volume amplifies the routinely muffled voices and experiences of Black women and girls in schools through storytelling, essays, letters, and poetry. The authors make clear that the strength of Black women and girls should not merely be defined as the ability to survive racism, abuse, and violence. Readers will also see resistance and resilience emerge through the central themes that shape these reflective, coming-of-age narratives. Each chapter is punctuated by discussion questions that extend the conversation around the everyday realities of navigating K-12 schools, such as sexuality, intergenerational influence, self-love, anger, leadership, aesthetic trauma (hair and body image), erasure, rejection, and unfiltered Black girlhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA spotlight on the invisible barriers impacting Black girls' educational trajectories.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA survey of the intersectional notions of strength and Black femininity within the context of K-12 schooling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNarrative therapy through unpacking system stories of oppression and triumph. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInsights for building skills and tools to make substantial and lasting change in schools.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDanielle Apugo\u003c\/strong\u003e is assistant professor of education at Virginia Commonwealth University. \u003cstrong\u003eLynnette Mawhinney\u003c\/strong\u003e is associate professor and chair of the Department of Urban Education at Rutgers University-Newark. \u003cstrong\u003eAfiya Mbilishaka\u003c\/strong\u003e is an assistant professor of clinical psychology at the University of the District of Columbia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461304139954,"sku":"9780807764527","price":56.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/2a0fbac3e608a3fba01b261f00faeba6.webp?v=1778945825","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/strong-black-girls-reclaiming-schools-in-their-own-image-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
