Parable of the Brown Girl: The Sacred Lives of Girls of Color

The stories of girls of color are often overlooked unseen and ignored rather than valued and heard. In Parable of the Brown Girl minister and youth advocate Khristi Lauren Adams introduces readers to the resilience struggle and hope held within these stories. Instead of relegating these young women of color to the margins Adams brings their stories front and center where they belong. By sharing encounters shes had with girls of color that revealed profound cultural and theological truths Adams magnifies the struggles dreams wisdom and dignity of these voices. Thought-provoking and inspirational Parable of the Brown Girl is a powerful example of how God uses the narratives we most often ignore to teach us the most important lessons in life. Its time to pay attention.
