Overview

Louisa has always been told that she doesn't ""talk Black enough."" At first, she shrugs it off, but as the teasing grows louder and more frequent, the words begin to sink into her heart. Unsure of where she fits in or how she's supposed to sound, Louisa starts to question her identity and wonders if her voice-her own natural way of speaking-is somehow wrong. But everything changes when her mother sits her down for a loving, magical conversation that opens Louisa's eyes to a deeper truth: her voice is powerful precisely because it is hers. With patience, wisdom, and warmth, her mother helps her understand that Blackness isn't limited to a tone, an accent, or a particular way of speaking. It lives in history, in community, in love, and in the confidence she carries within. As Louisa moves through this journey of self-discovery, she learns to claim her voice with pride and to honor every part of who she is. Do I Talk Black Enough? is a heartwarming and empowering story that celebrates culture, individuality, and the courage it takes to embrace your authentic self. Through vibrant storytelling, tender family moments, and affirming lessons, this book encourages children to celebrate their uniqueness, challenge stereotypes, and recognize that every voice deserves to be heard. Perfect for classrooms, families, and young readers learning about identity and belonging, this story reminds us all that the beauty of our world comes from its diversity, and that being true to yourself is the most powerful sound of all.
