Afrocentric Princess

Many African American girls struggle with their looks and their overall self-image. Many things that they see in the world does not reflect who they are, and some of them are in an identity crisis. Webster defines a aEURoeprincessaEUR as a female member of a royal family. God created male and female in his image by putting careful thought into individuality. God considers his creation royalty, and he is the king. Therefore, all girls regardless of color, hair texture, or looks have the right to be a princess. The Afrocentric Princess was written to encourage girls to embrace their looks and see themselves as beautiful, special, worthy, unique, and fearless. The book is also designed for parents to see that their daughters need a lot of encouragement and love to feel special. It is my hope that girls will begin to see that aEURoetrueaEUR beauty lies within, and that God loves them dearly.
