That's why she did something about it.
She started a book drive to collect 1000 black girl books, that is books where the black girl is the main character instead of somebody in the background. And now there's going to be a book about the girl herself because she was an established activist by the age of 12.
She has collected 10,000 black girl books to date. She was a speaker alongside Michelle Obama and Oprah at the United State Women Summit in 2016. That's how she wound up on Forbe's List of 30 Under 30 which lists the 30 movers and shakers of this world that are under 30 years old.
Here's a link to her searchable book list. You can even find books for grown black folk here too.
