There is a lot said about how young ladys should behave, but that doesn't make for a good story. While teenage girls are asked to mask their anger, there is power in letting it out. Tiffany D. Jackson, Hayley Krischer, Courtney Summers, and Ashley Woodfolk discuss what it means for a teenage girl to be "unlikeable" and still be the protagonist of their own story.

A Walter Dean Myers Honor Book and Coretta Scott King John Steptoe New Talent Award winner, she received her bachelor of arts in film from Howard University, her master of arts in media studies from the New School, and has over a decade in TV/Film experience. The Brooklyn native still resides in the borough she loves. You can visit her at writeinbk.com.
