The pandemic set students’ reading levels back two decades. Online learning and missed classroom time during the Covid-19 pandemic contributed to the first ever drop in mathematics scores and the biggest recorded drop in reading scores among 9-year-old students since 1990, according to a National Assessment of Educational Progress report released in August 2022. Unfortunately, schools are often sites of physical, emotional and intellectual violence for Black girls. Black girls’ cultural capital is often times rendered invisible outside of national holidays like Black History Month, leading to a disconnect from the learning experience, weakened sense of self, declining academic scores and much more. Literacy is oftentimes narrowly defined as the ability to read and write but this doesn’t help Black girls excel in and outside of the classroom against systemic oppression. We believe that Black girl literacies deserve to be diverse in pedagogical theory and practice while remaining culturally equitable. Will you help us decolonize literacy education for Black girls by exploring opportunities to enhance their mental health, economic, critical media, and technological acumen through culturally sustainable literacy experiences?
