Teaching Black girl pedagogies is a way to truly see them in educational spaces, to see them in their fullness, recognizing their complex and entangled identities. Black feminism and womanism are foundational to Black girl pedagogical praxis, and work to push against misrepresentations of Black girls and Black girlhoods, as well as identify and challenge the linked processes of criminalization and adultification experienced by all Black children. Through my own experiences as a Black girl in the US K-12 education system I draw on Black feminism to highlight the importance of engaging with and using Black girl pedagogies as a practice of co-creation between educators and students.
