An example of this is Toni Morrison's first novel The Bluest Eye, which features Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl who believes she is ugly and wants nothing more than to have the blue eyes associated with the white standard of beauty.
She found author Toni Morrison's novel The Bluest Eye at Kankakee Public Library and became empowered to write from a Black female perspective.
Her plays include Here I Am...See Can You Handle It, The Inside adapted from the poems of Nikki Giovanni, Stage Black, The Gift Horse, Stick Fly, Voyeurs de Venus, The Bluest Eye, an adaptation from Toni Morrison's novel and Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
Rapper Talib Kweli used the book as an inspiration for his song "Thieves in the Night" with Mos Def on the Blackstar album.
