Can we just take a minute to stop and talk about what a beautiful and empowering book My beautiful black hair is. It's really stunning and shines a light about how important kindness is and how much of an impact our words can have on other people. It is also a book that celebrates every single black queen out there no matter what type or style there hair is and to shine a light that we should not let what other people say dull our sparkle. Because you are magical and amazing just as you are.
My beautiful black hair is a collection of empowering stories and beautiful photos that celebrates natural black hair and the central part it has.
The amazing author At. Clair Detrick-Jules was inspired to write the book after her little sister who was only a preschooler at the time came home from school hating herself and her hair because a classmate had told her that she was ugly.
Trying to help her little sister St. Clair Detrick-Jules set about interviewing over 100 women who share their stories revealing the depth, physical and emotional damage which has been inflicted on many women by people and the world around them as they try to relax their hair to make it look "acceptable" for other people. They also share their resilience, self love tips and how they found acceptance to embrace their hair and free themselves from Eurocentric beauty standards.
It really is a beautiful book that is really wonderfully put together.
This book is the guide book to use for when you have your book clubs to discuss this amazing book.
What does this guide contain?
Well in this book you will find:
An amazing interview with the author
Questions to help with your discussions
Some really stunning bookmarks
What books to read next
And Some great videos to watch
It's a really well put together and really helpful book that can be a great tool for your next book club meeting.
Beautiful Black Hair starts off with a long author q&a which makes sense considering the books contents. I loved how in-depth the authors answers were and really enjoyed the parts that talked about self love and Khloe.
At the end there were some recommended YouTube channels discussing hair care and I really thought these were a brilliant addition.
A wonderful kit for any book club to use.
I am impressed with how well thought out these book club kits are. They always include really great extras, like the videos and the bookmarks. I think they're a great resource for a book club to use.
