The current analysis explored the relevance of colorism among Black girls enrolled at a predominately Black, all-girls high school, with a specific focus on their identities and well-being. Fifty-nine Black girls (M_age = 16.97) completed a survey and semi-structured interview. Results from a two-step quant-qual analysis indicate a strong positive association between rejecting colorist ideology and positive self-esteem. Open coding of semi-structured interviews showed that 75% (n = 44) of the sample spontaneously mentioned colorist ideology when describing their racial and gender identities, including references to skin color (56%), hair texture/style (50%), attractiveness/femininity (38%), and body type (18%). More importantly, 74% of these discussions indicated resistance to colorism illustrating Black girls’ engagement with and denouncement of ideologies of white supremacy, patriarchy, and anti-blackness. This critical qualitative analysis illustrates and offers guidance for practicing anti-racist adolescent research. We offer four insights: (a) consider the research spaces in which Black youth in our research are situated to better represent the diversity (and potential) of Black youth; (b) listen to and and follow the voices of Black girls; (c) attend to agency and resistance in development; and (d) recognize intersectionality as integral to anti-racist research.

目前的分析探讨了黑人女孩在以黑人为主的全女子高中就读的黑人女孩之间的相关性，特别关注她们的身份和幸福感。59 名黑人女孩（M_年龄= 16.97）完成了一项调查和半结构化访谈。两步定量分析的结果表明，拒绝色彩主义意识形态与积极的自尊之间存在很强的正相关关系。半结构化访谈的开放编码显示，75% ( n = 44) 的样本在描述他们的种族和性别身份时自发地提到了色彩主义意识形态，包括对肤色(56%)、头发质地/风格(50%) 的提及，吸引力/女性气质（38%），以及体型(18%)。更重要的是，这些讨论中有 74% 表示抵制色彩主义，这表明黑人女孩参与和谴责白人至上、父权制和反黑人意识形态。这种批判性的定性分析说明并为实践反种族主义青少年研究提供了指导。我们提供四个见解：(a) 考虑我们研究中黑人青年所处的研究空间，以更好地代表黑人青年的多样性（和潜力）；(b) 倾听并追随黑人女孩的声音；(c) 关注发展中的代理和阻力；(d) 承认交叉性是反种族主义研究不可或缺的一部分。
