The Colored Girl Beautiful

E. Azalia Hackley's warm, forthright counsel to young Black women on poise, health, dignity, and self-respect. Written by a celebrated singer and educator, it speaks with pride and tenderness about carrying oneself with grace in a difficult world. Part etiquette, part encouragement, part quiet manifesto of self-worth, it is a historically important and deeply human book. A generous elder's voice, offering beauty of character as the truest kind.
