Abstract
The article focuses on how media and literature shape Black girls' perceptions of beauty, identity, and self-worth, especially through the lens of internalized racism and white-centric beauty standards. Topics include the personal impact of lacking positive Black representation in media, the critical importance of access to Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, and the need for affirming literature that centers Black girlhood and self-love.
