I AM dope!
My crown shines bright
in all its glory.
When I dream big,
I can do anything!
In this inspiring tribute to Black girl pride and excellence, a young child discovers her place in a radiant heritage. As she meets twelve extraordinary Black women―historic and contemporary heroines who have blazed a trail for her own future success―she internalizes their strength and sets out to change the world in her own way.
Just like them, she can reach her dreams. And readers will discover that they can reach theirs too.
