What a wonderful collection!
We Go High features several different stories about brown and Black women, some of whom are well-known and others who are not. As a Black woman myself, I truly enjoyed getting to learn more about various scientists, journalists, activists, business women, artists, and athletes. It's so inspiring, and honestly make me proud.
I hope more people have the chance to read this book, people of all backgrounds, but especially other brown and black women and girls. Seeing women who look like me overcome adversities, despite the bad reputation and stereotypes so many of us face, was truly special. It's all about finding your voice, believing in yourself, and celebrating our strengths.
The illustrations in this book (by Natasha Cunningham) were also really gorgeous! It really added color to this already amazing celebration of these fabulous women!
I'm so grateful that I've had the chance to read this collection!
