One Mom's journey to raise empowered mixed-race children

Girls Hold Up This World!

we girls hold up this worldWhat a fantastic book by Jada Pinkett-Smith, Girls Hold Up This World!

It’s been a few years since I’ve read it.  My oldest has moved on to Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Charlotte’s Web.

So while digging for something my baby would like, I saw this wonderful book sitting on the shelf.

I thought to myself, M is not going to understand this at all.  But then again, does it matter, she will eventually and besides; it’s a great book to read while you squeeze your little girl tight.  It makes you proud to be a Mom and excited to raise an empowered, strong, independent daughter and for this, I thank Mrs. Smith.

So, to my daughters, my friend’s daughters and all the daughters in my family…

Be proud to be a girl – know what it means to you.  Be who you want to be – don’t doubt the things you do.
