Take your opportunity to help her soar.   

During the critical developmental period of the middle school years, Black girls—who sit at the intersections of racism and sexism—often face unique challenges that can hinder their academic and personal growth. Revealing the systemic barriers Black girls experience, Black Girl in the Middle equips teachers with research-backed practices to foster meaningful connections, address biases, and advocate for their students' holistic development.

Drawing on research and years of experience as an award-winning educator, author Melody Hawkins introduces five core practices that have been shown to catapult middle school students toward greater confidence and success. This guide enables middle school educators to:

  • Foster inclusive classrooms and genuine empathy rooted in an understanding of Black girls as whole individuals
  • Define goals, apply evidence-based practices, and measure impact using the BELIEF Framework
  • Advocate for the unique needs of Black girls while building their confidence and leadership skills

Whether you're a middle school teacher, mentor, counselor, or community advocate, this book offers valuable insights and strategies to ensure Black girls are fully seen, celebrated, and supported to thrive.
