Teaching in a school with mostly students of color, the students don't always have books that reflect what they look like. For students who choose to take the "women's studies" elective class, I want to make sure that they have books that are relevant to them and inspire them to be the leaders and change makers that they are learning to be. In our class, the students learn about themselves, each other, and different female identifying leaders both in our community and around the world. We have female identifying leaders in Oakland come in and talk to the students and the students get to ask them questions and get advice. They do projects around an interest they have that affects women. One example of a past project was raising money for Malala Yousafzai's organization so that girls in other countries have the opportunity to go to school. The students also give presentations about themselves and their lives, share what they are struggling with and get advice, and read books about global leaders. We already read Malala Yousafzai and Misty Copeland's autobiographies, but I want one more book that they can learn from, so "Becoming" is a good addition. This book will help them to see what a strong, Black leader looks like and inspire them to fight for a better world. After the students learn about different leaders, they present what they learn to other younger students to inspire them as well.
