My daughter wants to know

My daughter wants to know why they're no girls like her in her favourite Tv shows.
So I told her she is special.
The world doesn’t know yet that the prettiest woman has
Kinky curls and cocoa brown skin.
My daughter doesn’t get why magazines are filled with
Bullets meant to kill little brown girls.
Like jeans with no space for her curves.
With pictures of a tiny bustier
That her 32D breasts don’t fit
without being vulgar.
She wants to know why I she cannot wear shorts
Without encouraging men to bust her lips and knock down her doors.
My daughter wants to know who will save her.
Who will love her melanin and kink.

For some reason the answer she is looking for is not me.
