Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Did you ever struggle with peer pressure or negative self-images? This is common with youth, but social media has exacerbated the problem. Young girls believe they have to expose themselves in compromising ways in order to be accepted.

"A survey of 325 adults found that compared with young white girls, people think young black girls need less nurturing, protection, support and comfort.

They’re seen as more independent, and participants think they know more about mature topics, such as sex. Dubbed “adultification,” it’s the notion that girls of color, especially those 5-14, are less childlike and, as a result, more likely to be assigned greater culpability for their actions."

As a school counselor in a Title I middle school, I have the pleasure to work closely with a group of young black girls between ages 11-14. The goal is to build confidence, character, and celebrate the unique beauty and resilience of these young ladies.

My Project

This project is a continuation of the empowerment group for middle school African American girls that started back in January. We loved the first book so much that we are planning to read another title by the same author. The young ladies in this group have really started to bond and I have noticed that the girls who were too shy to even say their name have become comfortable enough to contribute to our discussions. These resources will continue to help me help them with their self confidence both in and out of the classroom.
