Destiny’s First Day… takes readers into the experience of a young Black girl as she navigates her first day of school and begins to encounter the complicated messages society can send about Black hair. Through Destiny’s story, this book explores natural hair, identity, confidence, self-acceptance, and the importance of embracing the hair we were born with. It shines a light on the ways Black women and girls can be made to feel inferior or different because of their natural hair—and why those messages should never determine how they see themselves. With an uplifting message about Black beauty, pride, and individuality, Destiny’s First Day… encourages readers to appreciate the many textures, styles, and forms of natural Black hair. A story about identity, confidence, and learning never to be ashamed of who you are.
