Culture Statement
What we see happening to the collective Black and brown body, mind and spirit must be named as a reminder for us, for girls, and for those who’ve gone before us. “I see you … fighting for you is a fight for myself, … You deserve leisure, time to dream, rest.”
We take a holistic approach to leadership development of Black girls and women through a consortium of projects. These projects are avenues by which Black girls in the southeastern United States may be centered, from our research, advocacy and organizing, communications, grantmaking and technical assistance, and education and programs.
We create safe spaces for these girls, with the ultimate goal of making their homes and communities places where their safety and freedom are welcomed. An organization working toward this approach would lack integrity if it didn’t, likewise, take a holistic approach to leadership development with its staff.
