    The authors would like to thank the issue's guest editors for such a timely special issue. Black girls deserve our absolute best. This essay is a culmination of that sentiment and critical conversations sustained through our decision to be in community with one another. We specifically all met at Black Girl Genius Week 2014 (BGGW) at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. We would like to acknowledge the organizers of BGGW (2014) for carving out the space to recognize the importance of Black girls and Black girlhood, and for the fruitful conversations and generative insights fostered. Tammy C. Owens would like to thank the Carter G. Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies Fellowship Program at the University of Virginia for support to complete this research.
