Welcome to Smart Brown Girl

This is a space for truth-telling.

Here, we uncover the stories they tried to erase, the histories left out of classrooms, buried in archives, or dismissed as “too uncomfortable.” From COINTELPRO to Fort Mose, from the Black Panther Party to today’s fights over book bans, Smart Brown Girl connects the past to the present so we can see clearly what we’re still up against.

What you’ll find here:

  • ✍🏾 Unfiltered history and analysis that refuses the sanitized version

  • 📚 Guides, resources, and teaching tools you can use in classrooms, book clubs, or community spaces

  • 🗣 Reflections and calls to action that remind us the past isn’t past, and erasure is never accidental

This blog is about more than history. It’s about memory, resistance, and survival.

Thank you for being here. Read, share, question, and carry these stories forward. Together, we disrupt the silence.
