MN: What can people expect from Dear Black Girl the book?
Tamara: I think that it models the way that I hope that Black women and Black girls can love each other. We can’t be reflective of the broken way that other people regard us. You know, we have to come to each other with love and, vulnerability, which is the important part. I think, sometimes, the ways we try to treat each other is driven by fear. It’s because we know how high the stakes are for Black women. Older Black women, we know what happens when Black girls stumble and fall. We know there’s not a lot of grace given but our response to that can’t be that we don’t give each other grace.
