“Keep fighting for what you want to achieve. One day you will reach your goal.”
The book is an educational journey through time in which contemporary heroes such as tennis player Naomi Osaka and astronaut Jeanette Epps alternate with historical heroes such as pilot Bessie Coleman and Emperor Taytu Betul. And don't forget the homegrown heroes such as politician Sylvana Simons, doctor Sophie Redmond, journalist Natasja Gibbs and spoken word artist Zaire Krieger. The book is the result of the work of Black female and non-binary writers, editors and illustrators.
