Just a reminder:

 - a black girl character growing her hair out long breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having short hair. 

 - a black girl character getting to be soft and fragile breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being strong all the time. 

 - a black girl character being protected and comforted by others breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having no one to look out for but herself. 

 - a black girl character being considered pretty or cute by other characters breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being considered unattractive

 - not everything that is empowering for a white girl is empowering for black girls. 

The sexism girls face overlaps but is not the same.
