“A Girl Like Me”

“A Girl Like Me” is an excellent short film directed by Kiri Davis, a young African American woman. I really feel that this is a must see. Why are our ideals of beauty those of the white Europeans? Must we conform? These are the stories of four young women who are dealing with these pressures. Though the whole film was really meaningful to me, one part I keep thinking about is the reproduction of the doll test. I can’t help but wonder what the last girl was thinking about when asked which doll was most like her. Hopefully this video will help bring some awareness to the needed change in our society!
