We’re all about centering youth in our work, and we’re very excited to have this feature in Girls United. An excerpt:
The Third Annual Black Girl Freedom Week is creating a campaign to mobilize a $1 billion investment in Black girls. This virtual event will take place from February 13-19, 2023, and focuses on a week of action and celebration hosted by the #1Billion4BlackGirls campaign and Black Girl Freedom Fund, an initiative of Grantmakers for Girls of Color.
It’s important to hear from your people,” said Jamison Ford, member of the Grantmaking Council for the Black Girl Freedom Fund. “To know that you have a voice and to see people like you on large platforms is extremely important, especially to younger people.”
Black Girl Freedom Week is devoted to nourishing and fostering a community for girls who have few spaces to support their identity as leaders, changemakers and visionaries.
