Black Girl Blues: An examination of Intra-Racial Bullying
This session examines and questions how the racial identity and physical appearance of African American girls can manifest themselves in a way that is detrimental to them and other girls. This session is geared toward teachers, administrators and other direct service workers, and elucidates the historical cultural and social factors behind girl bullying among African Americans today. In a television- and internet-focused environment, young girls have begun to look to popular culture in search of who they are. Additionally, music and media have not wasted any time telling these girls who they should be. When your pop-culture sense of self clashes with what you see in the mirror everyday, girls can become angry and lash out – most likely at each other. Black Girl Blues is a presentation that attempts to tackle these issues from a historical platform.
