When Stories Don't Look Like You
Picture a seven-year-old girl curled up in a library corner, losing herself in The Secret Garden, Charlotte's Web, Harriet the Spy-stories where brave girls solve mysteries and discover magic. She loves these books with her whole heart, but something feels off. When she closes the pages and looks up, the disconnect hits: none of these heroines share her brown skin or kinky hair. For countless Black girls, reading became a bittersweet ritual-escaping into worlds that never quite made room for them. Then came Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry with Cassie, a Black girl from Mississippi whose voice rang true. But her story felt too familiar-the powerlessness against racism, the daily indignities, the ambient hostility. Many read to escape their circumstances, not to see them reflected back. The discovery of Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth changed everything. Jennifer, a tall Black girl who claimed to be a witch, walked through the world expecting it to adjust to her presence. She loved Shakespeare, wrote poems as spells, and commanded attention without apology. For young Black readers, she represented possibility-until she admitted she had no magic after all. The crushing realization that she was ordinary, filtered through her white friend's perspective without her own authentic voice, felt like betrayal. Many continued searching through libraries for years, never finding the book that felt like home until they finally took up their pens and began writing their own stories.
