About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Grown: The Black Girls' Guide to Glowing Up by Melissa Cummings-Quarry and Natalie A Carter, read by Rachel Adedeji, Melissa Cummings-Quarry and Natalie A Carter.

SHORTLISTED FOR CHILDREN’S NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2022

'Thank you for being the baddest in the literary game, knowing and loving us Black girls' CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS, author of Queenie

'Such a loving and warm guide and ode to black girls, I am so happy the younger generation have this in their lives' BOLU BABALOLA, author of Love in Colour

Your big sis in book form, Grown is the ultimate guide to navigating life as a Black teenage girl.

With a foreword from the inimitable Spice Girl Melanie Brown and contributions from inspirational Black women such as Diane Abbott MP, Dorothy Koomson and Candice Carty-Williams, Grown is a celebration of Black British girlhood that will empower teens everywhere.

Being a teenager and trying to understand who you are and what you stand for is hard. Period. But if you're a Black girl and don't always see yourself represented in the books you read, the films you watch, the adverts you see or the history you're taught, it can be even tougher. Grown: The Black Girls' Guide to Glowing Up was written with one thing in mind sis. You.

From understanding identity to the politics of hair to maintaining squad goals to dealing with microaggressions to consent to figuring out what career you might want, Grown has got your back. Natalie A. Carter and Melissa Cummings-Quarry, founders of Black Girls' Book Club, share stories – the wins and the Ls – and offer honest, practical advice that will show you how to own your choices. To live your truth without fear. To be grown on your own terms without limits or apologies.

Grown. It's a mood. It's a mindset. It's a mantra. It's a lifestyle. It embodies everything that makes us who we are.
