"Simply stated, Black girls matter! Black girls' voices, minds, and experiences matter. Thank you, Monique Lane, for elevating the brilliance, genius, and intellect of Black girls. Engendering #BlackGirlJoy is a beautifully crafted book that is powerful, poignant, and hopeful. For educators who are looking to see theory-to-practice driven work that is situated in culture, gender, care, and agency, this is the book!" --Tyrone Howard Pritzker Family Endowed Chair Director of Center for Transformation of Schools Director of UCLA Pritzker Center for Strengthening Children & Families UCLA School of Education & Information Studies
