That Little Girl: Memories, Challenges, and Reflections on Black Girl Dreams

By Charisse L Gillett

Little girls come from somewhere. Gillett shares heartfelt memories of growing up in a large family on the south side of Chicago recalling the circle of people, friendships, and family who loved her and the multiple ways God was revealed in these relationships. She grapples with the insecurities presented by the unknown and pressures of childhood and adolescent expectations. Gillett brings us a slice of her narrative through her memories that affirm that she comes from a loving, close knit, resilient family and community that was an incubator for her Black Girl Dreams.
