(SEL) "Growing Into My #BlackGirlPower" is an empowering and thought-provoking journal specifically designed to foster social emotional awareness in young black girls. Authored by the talented LaTasha Johnson, this journal invites young readers to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, reflection, and personal growth.
 
With a target audience of grade 3 and up, there are 52 engaging and reflective journal prompts that encourage young girls to explore their emotions, identities, and unique experiences. Each prompt is carefully crafted to help girls embrace their inner strength, build self-confidence, and navigate the challenges they may face.
 
One of the standout features of this journal is its 12-week dateless structure, allowing girls to start their journey at any time of the year. This flexibility enables young readers to progress at their own pace and revisit prompts that resonate with them. By offering a goal setting and tracking section for each week, girls will also have the opportunity to set personal objectives, track their progress, and celebrate their achievements with a capstone event planning at the 13th week.
 
Not simply a journal; it is a comprehensive toolkit for personal development. In addition to the reflective prompts, the journal includes 26 creative activities designed to unleash girls' creativity through art, drawing, and self-expression. These activities offer an outlet for girls to explore their emotions, dreams, and aspirations, while fostering a sense of independence and self-empowerment.
 
Recognizing the importance of emotional awareness, 11 well-crafted worksheets are featured that guide young girls in understanding and managing their emotions. From identifying different emotions to developing healthy coping strategies, these worksheets empower girls with the necessary emotional intelligence skills to thrive in social and personal settings.
Written with immense care and understanding, this journal is a celebration of young black girls' individuality, resilience, and brilliance. By delving into intersectional and culturally relevant themes, this journal creates a safe space for young readers to explore their identities, embrace their uniqueness, and celebrate their accomplishments.
 
Both a personal journey and a commemoration of collective experiences. An indispensable companion for young black girls, empowering them to navigate the complexities of life with grace, strength, and self-assurance. Ms. Johnson aims to inspire a generation of young black girls to redefine success, embrace their own shine, and conquer the world with confidence.
