As always, we’re so honored to have Essence support us in lifting up the work we’re doing. Check out a little bit of what they had to say about us in their article, “Black Girl Freedom Fund Shows we need investment, and not just words, for Black girls”:
The week of February 13 – 19, 2023 marks the third annual Black Girl Freedom Week, virtually hosted by the Black Girl Freedom Fund and the #1Billion4BlackGirls campaign, where attendees can watch “free virtual events, including panel discussions, film screenings, music performances and” share resources “on how to support and engage Black girls and understand how to move investments in a meaningful way.”
This year’s theme revolves around the artistic vision, activism, and innovation of Black girls, femmes, and gender-expansive youth.
In alignment with that focus, award-winning writer, director, and producer Gina Prince-Bythewood is joining an illustrious group, including Dr. Monique W. Couvson– author of the book “Pushout” and President and CEO of Grantmakers for Girls of Color– and other changemakers aiming to demonstrate the infinite possibilities for our young Black youth.
