Synopsis

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. Visit www.

A propos du livre

About the Author

Taura Stinson is an American Singer/Songwriter and Author who was born in Birmingham, Alabama and raised in Oakland, CA. '100 Things Every Black Girl Should Know' is her first literary effort, which was inspired by her mistakes, victories and general observations both in life, as well as in the music industry where women are routinely marginalized and objectified. She hopes that her book will be the go-to life manual for her young audience, as well as ladies on the far end of the demographic, but her biggest dream is for the text to spark dialogue and heart to heart conversations where they are needed most, at home. Taura continues to write and record music in her Los Angeles home and is already started laying the foundation for her second book.

Review

My daughter and I participated in the test group for 100 Things. I knew that Zoe would immediately be moved by Taura's words and I was right. Her background as a songwriter is present in the books poetic delivery, which spoke clearly to my daughter who too is an artist. It not only empowered her with loads of priceless self-loving information, but it was an extremely powerful conversation starter and I am certain that conversations will be widely sparked once people get their hands on this book.

When a child feels good about themselves they excel not only school, but in life. This book provokes necessary dialog and bridges the gap between generations, enabling both mothers and daughters to see eye to eye. The content contributes to healthy identity development, self-esteem and the tools necessary to safely and effectively navigate through a world in which black and brown girls are routinely marginalized and objectified, but thankfully, they now have a handbook full of resources, antidotes and wisdom to help guide them through this magical journey.
