Imagine a young girl who grows up reading a magazine designed specifically for women and girls that look like her. This magazine publishes articles and stories about the the struggles and joys that get this young girl through all the emotions of being Black and female in America. Now imagine that same young girl grows up to realize a dream of writing a book and the magazine bestows a recognition on her beyond her wildest dreams. That happened to me when Essence Magazine named All Her Little Secrets as one of “19 Books We Can’t Wait to Curl Up With This Fall!!!! What an achievement!

Thank you Essence Magazine!
