Navia Robinson Instagram – The “Adultification” of Black Girls. Adultification Bias refers to the perception of black girls as more adult-like and less innocent than their white counterparts.

Why does the “adultcification” of black girls matter?

-To counter inequality we must begin internally, by analyzing how we perceive other humans (black girls in this instance) and if that perception is fair or pervaded with subconscious bias.

-Georgetown Law sites adultification, or the perception of Black girls as less innocent, as a potential contributing factor to the disproportionate rates of punitive treatment in the education and juvenile justice systems for Black girls.

-Acknowledging internal prejudices and inappropriate perceptions of black girls is a step towards confronting and dismantling the deep-rooted manifestation of implicit bias against young women of color.

-Researches suggests that adultification may play a role in the child welfare system; Authorities in this system who view Black girls as more independent and less needing of nurture and protection may assign them different placement or treatment plans from their white girl counterparts.

-To quote Girl Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls’ Childhood, “Ultimately, adultification is a form of dehumanization, robbing Black children of the
very essence of what makes childhood distinct from all other developmental periods: innocence.”

Some instances are less overt. I speak to this from personal experience, having encountered variants of adultification myself. Most prominently is my experience with disproportionate objectification on tv sets; having to wear less makeup and more layers, as compared to young girls who are not POC, because I was looked at as “more mature” and “less innocent”.

I share this in hopes that, if any other young black/poc girls out there who stumble upon this ‘post’ have experienced adultification bias now feel less alone, and as importantly… that their feelings in regard to experiencing this type of prejudice are valid.
