SOME GIRLS explores issues of identity within the Latina-American community by focusing on a group of troubled teenage girls in a Bronx-based suicide prevention program who feel rejected by mainstream America, but are transformed through an exploration of their roots. In the course of the film, shot over a four-year period, they use ancestral DNA testing to discover their ancestry and, in doing so, begin to rethink what and how theyve been taught about history. Following the testing, the girls embark on an expedition to learn more about themselves based on the results.

The video follows a young middle school-aged Black girl, who struggles with low self-esteem. She is insecure about her hair texture, her size and her complexion. The young girl, while undergoing Rites of Passage, is taught that 'self love is more precious than anything else.' As the story unfolds, she slowly begins to understand the importance of this concept. By the end of the video, after being empowered and uplifted by her peers, she has internalized the importance of 'Self-Love' and completely embraces her blackness.
