Introduction

Despite some forward progress, Black women and girls in the U.S. still endure discrimination and stereotyping on a daily basis.

Tamara Winfrey-Harris is an American writer, journalist, and co-founder of Centering Sisters and the Black Women's Writing Society.

Winfrey-Harris' first book, The Sisters Are Alright, is an international bestseller that tackles anti-Black-women stereotypes and the experiences of Black women in the U.S.

In Dear Black Girl, Winfrey-Harris' collates a selection from her Letters to Black Girls project, in which she invited Black women to address Black girls aged 13-21.
