Little Black Pearls for Little Black Girls

by Dominique Jordan Turner (LGC Fellow since 2016) and her daughter, Kennedy Jordan Turner

Dominique Jordan Turner and her daughter, Kennedy Jordan Turner, have published this book to inspire young women and encourage mother-daughter activities. Kennedy has illustrated the book. Dominique, CEO of Chicago Scholars, says, “As moms and caring adults, we must work a bit harder to ensure that our little Black girls grow up to be strong and confident women who understand their true power, beauty, intellect and value to the world. We want to make sure that women and little girls recognize that they have superpowers. The goal is to inspire girls to believe in themselves and believe in the skin that they’re in.” Filled with beautiful pearls of wisdom to inspire pride and confidence, each chapter includes an activity that promotes conversation, confidence, and a deeper connection to one another. Read more here.
