Welcome to Litsy!

�Through honest stories and inspiring lessons from her life, A�ja Wilson reminds us to never doubt who we are or apologize for being true to ourselves. Dear Black Girls is a must-read for every Black girl out there.� ?Gabrielle Union This one is for all the girls with an apostrophe in their names. This is for all the girls who are labeled �too loud� and �too emotional.� This is for all the girls who are constantly asked, �Oh, what did you do with your hair? That�s new.� This is for my Black girls. Despite gold medals, WNBA championships, and a list of accolades, A�ja Wilson knows how it feels to be swept under the rug�to not be heard, to not feel seen, to not be taken seriously. As a fourth grader going to a primarily white school in South Carolina, A�ja was told she�d have to stay outside for a classmate�s birthday party. �Huh?� she asked. Because the birthday girl�s father didn�t like Black people. Wilson tells stories like this, about how even when life tried to hold her down, it didn�t stop her. She shares her contribution to �The Talk,� and how to keep fighting, all while igniting strength, passion, and joy. Dear Black Girls is a necessary and meaningful exploration of what it means to be a Black woman in America today�and a rallying cry to lift up women and girls everywhere. �?D?ear Black Girls is filled with phenomenal stories and empowering insight on what it means to be a woman in today�s world. I didn�t want to put it down.� ?Tunde Oyeneyin, New York Times bestselling author of Speak
