To every Minority girl reading this book: You are radiant, resilient, and remarkable. I wrote these words with you in mind because you deserve to see your magic reflected in the pages of this world. Your dreams are powerful, your voice is important, and your presence is a gift. Never forget that you carry the legacy of greatness within you. You are capable of breaking barriers, rewriting stories, and building a future that shines as brightly as you do. Walk boldly in your truth, knowing that you are loved, you are enough, and you are unstoppable. Never take the crown off of your head for anyone. With love and pride, Trayva Bradley
