The Day I Learned to Love Myself Sonya Durant

Dear little Black girl, Hi, I'm Sasha and recently, I found out I'm a princess, destined to be a queen; and as are you. I used to think I was not so beautiful and my family doesn't have much money. My clothes were not the best and no one was really nice to me, not even me. But I have to tell you a magnificent secret. We are a wonderful creation! We are wise and beautiful and strong. We are smart and kind and unique in every way. Our skin is dark so that it may shine even at night. Our lips are larger and wider so that we may speak clearly and be a voice for the ones who cannot. Our hair is a reflection of us- big, strong, and healthy. We are leaders little black girls! Let us never forget that. Love always, Sas
