Kiri Davis, 17 year-old Director for the film, “A Girl Like Me”, captures the experiences of young African American women relative to the ideals/standards of beauty etc. as set forth in our society. This film provides incite into the fact that not only does this unrealistic ideal of beauty affect adult women of color, but also teenagers and young children.

Many young African American women are forced to live within standards they know they cannot truly attain, as some try to attain the unattainable only to learn that what God has given them, is in the fact what matters most. Young ladies…Love yourself and accept the hair texture, skin color God has given you!
