By Pierre D. Perry

Pierre D. Perry, author of eight books of poetry, returns with his first book of poetry directed towards the black female.

The black female has come a long way since the first Africans were brought to America. Great strides have been made. But still, The black female does not always get the credit or respect that she is due. A lot of young black girls are being taken advantage of due to low self-esteem. Mr. Perry, being the father of two teenage daughters, decided to use his poetry to uplift and motivate young and older black women.Once again Perry holds nothing back. He shines a light on dark issues dealing with the black woman and young black girls. But he tries to encourage these these ladies to not only be strong, but to be "Black Girl Strong". This is a must read for all females, especially black girls and their mothers.
