Makiah's Show and Tell follows the story of a young Black girl who makes it her mission to educate those around her about the importance of her Black natural hair. The story aims to comfort and steer the many young Black girls who are regularly targeted because of their racial and gender identity. It provides these girls with a guide-book style story to reinforce their confidence and encourage them to properly educate those around them. It also allows other agents in society (family members, friends, teachers, etc) to understand how their behaviors and racial biases contribute to others potential adoption of harmful self-perceptions.
