This is a secondary data analysis of 112 Black girls living in the American South responding to questions about issues impacting them from their perspective. While some issues raised are similar to the existing literature, they also raise concerns about contextual issues unique to their location, race, gender, and class. The study investigates Black girls' lived experiences in the American South through content analysis. Through the lens of Adinkra symbols, the study seeks to create discourse on Black cultural and philosophical tradition and the girls' resilience. Ultimately, the study reveals that Adinkra symbols provide a culturally relevant lens through which to investigate contemporary social issues affecting Black girls living in the American South.
