??? International Day of the Girl is a moment to honor and uplift the power, potential, and resilience of girls everywhere—but especially Black girls. At Southern Black Girls & Women’s Consortium (SBGWC), we center our work on ensuring that Black girls have the resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive. Did you know that Black girls are disproportionately affected by school discipline, underrepresentation in STEM fields, and access to mental health services? Black girls deserve spaces that celebrate their brilliance, creativity, and leadership—and that’s why we do what we do. From the #BlackGirlJoy Challenge to our community-driven grants, every program is designed to amplify the voices of Black girls and ensure their dreams are fully supported. You can join us in this mission by: ?? Donating to our Black Girl Dream Fund ?? Volunteering or mentoring a young Black girl ?? Amplifying Black girl voices in your community Let’s continue to create a future where Black girls are heard, loved, and empowered. Together, we rise! ??? #DayOfTheGirl #SupportBlackGirls #BlackGirlJoy #SouthernBlackGirls
