Abstract: Abstract Kerandi, Njuguna, and Urey offer a found poem from the voices of African girls based on a dozen interviews they conducted to gain perspective on girls views of their own girlhood. The poem reflects aspirations and pressures college educated African girls/women have and live with under the pressure of family, society, academics, and cultural norms.
