Publisher's Synopsis
The phrase "pretty for a dark girl" has been said to dark skin women as an backhanded compliment. We are not beautiful in spite of our dark skin, we are beautiful because of every detail about us, including our melanin. The book, "Pretty. For a Dark Girl," is a love letter to black girls and women across the diaspora, celebrating our melanin. It reminds us that we must encourage the lesson of self love and cultural pride.
