About The Project

Let Black Girls Be Girls is a first of its kind social impact campaign by UK creatives Eboni Lamine and Martha Omasoro, that raises awareness on the issue that is adultification bias and its impact on Black girls in Britain.

In 2017, Georgetown University published a study that revealed that adults perceived Black girls between the ages of 5-16 years old to be in less need of nurturing, care, protection and that they knew more about sex and adult topics. With Let Black Girls be Girls, their mission is to raise the conversation around the Adultification of Black Children and educate audiences on the deep-rooted impact of Adultification Bias, because they want every Black girl to be afforded innocence and vulnerability of childhood not marred by race.

This website holds heartfelt letters from Black women and their experiences with adultification bias while sharing encouraging words for young Black girls everywhere. There are also resources, helpful links and organisations that you can access to learn more about how you can help combat the adultification of Black girls.
