Is this generation of Girls lost?

Dear Diary


Today I want to talk to Black Mothers and in fact all Mothers about our girls.I am the mother of 2 girls so forgive me if my thoughts are focused almost exclusively on the issues that concern our Daughters. 


When did our Girls lose their pride in themselves and their respect for their bodies?


When did our Girls buy into the lie that they are 'meat', only valuable for what is between their legs?


When did our Girls begin to accept being treated like the bitc#*s and h#es that the rappers talk about?


When did our Girls begin to lose their aspirations and buy into the notion that it more important to be pretty and popular than to be smart and virtuous?


Have we lost this generation? Do we just give up and start with the 3 and 4 year old now?


Parents is it too late?
