 As a black girl in an immigrant family, the concept of mental illnesses aren’t really accepted.
 Please enjoy written pieces about Black girls and sports written by Taylor McCray, Brianna Alvarez and Madison Moore.

 Please enjoy the written pieces about Black Lives by Jhari Williams, Courtney Chrichlow, Shyenne Walston, Jasmyn Millsap and Tovia Tisby.
 The Dinner Table Doc worked with a group of young women and girls who were not able to participate in the summer camp's weekly workshops the opportunity to participate by helping us culminate a book list for black and brown girls, so that they can inspire and empower each other.
For their participation they received a digital certificate and a Barnes and Noble gift card or book.  Throughout history, an ideal body image changes every year. This change mainly affects everyone, especially women. As women we always feel like we have a certain type of standard to live up to in society.
