The Black Girl Project Details
The Black Girl Project is a grassroots organization that leverages both traditional, and new educational formats and media platforms to assist young women and girls in attaining personal freedom, liberation, and self-actualization. We do this via a multi-pronged approach, utilizing interdisciplinary artistic modalities, primarily Media and Literary Arts, to engage our core audience in creating, remixing, and narrating their own lives. Through on-site workshops and labs, our Leadership Academy, as well as our annual Sisterhood Summit that serves 100+ young women from the Metro NY, and Mid-Atlantic regions, we use the arts to empower, transform, and mitigate inter-generational trauma and cultural/historical grief.Our mission is to transform individual lives and whole communities through reclaiming, rewriting and remixing narratives. Narratives, are just stories; stories that are written, vocalized, photographed, filmed, painted, and more. They have the power to uplift, redirect, and bring balance to individuals and communities, small and large.We do this work through our Leadership Academy, Sisterhood Summit, Workshops + Labs that focus on issues specific to women and girls throughout the Diaspora.Our work is rooted in three core values:Truth: Your truth, your voice, your reality matters. When we are engaging one another from a space of truthfulness, only then can transformation begin.Hustle: To hustle is to do the work required for transformation. It involves creativity, the shifting of paradigms, and ingenuity. Hustling reclaims the self.Liberation: Personal liberation begets community liberation. We cannot wait to be liberated, it all begins with self.We work to create programs, projects and events that emphasize individual and community-based liberatory practices. With a mix of both free and fee-based programming, we're able to serve youth/communities in the NY Metro area, as well as nationally, and globally.
