A Space for Black Girls to Feel Seen, Heard, and Prepared for Life After High School.
Far from traditional mainstream college prep materials, College Bound is written specifically with the Black girl in mind and addresses unique challenges resulting from racial disparities in high school graduation gaps and a lack of access to quality education, academic resources, and opportunities to better prepare them for life after high school.
For Black girls specifically, this time is crucial for the development of their identities, the discovery of their unique contributions to the world, acquiring skills, and learning as much as possible to mitigate potential risks of intersectionality (racism, sexism, inequalities, and other disadvantages) that could create unnecessary obstacles in the future.
College Bound is a resource-rich road map for teenage and young adult Black women preparing for college and life beyond! This comprehensive guide offers tools for smart and strategic future planning, covering EVERYTHING from junior year of high school through college graduation. Checklists, exercises, chapters on the application process, scholarships, budgeting, debt management, resume writing, interview practice, and more are included! This book provides readers with the affirmation, self-assurance, and tools necessary to be successful on their journeys.
In this book, readers can expect to learn the following:
How to identify, celebrate, and leverage their diversity (Black Girl Magic)
How to complete the college, FAFSA, and scholarship application process
About wage gaps, avoiding debt, and financial freedom strategies
The importance of skills, trades, and entrepreneurship for Black girls
