Self-Love for Black girls
Program Description
Self-Love for Black Girls is designed to empower Black girls to practice self-love, build self-esteem and self-confidence at an early age. Navigating a world that constantly devalues Black girls and women, our girls need to know that they are enough; that they are brilliant, creative beings that can accomplish anything they set their mind to. This is an in-person program.
The content and activities of this program will encourage Black girls to reject societal expectations of who they should be, what they should look like, how they should speak and behave, etc., while teaching them skills to strengthen their mental and emotional fortitude to become the best version of themselves under challenging circumstances.
We intend to disrupt generational cycles of suffering due to unreasonable expectations of strength, perfectionism, and people pleasing by providing useful tools for pursuing fulfilling, healthy lifestyles.
Intended Outcomes
At the conclusion of the program, participants will:
- Understand concepts of self-love, self-confidence, and self-esteem
- Be equipped with tools and resources to practice self-love, build self-confidence and self-esteem
- Improve creative writing and public speaking skills
- Identify their goals and aspirations
- Forge new relationships with Black girls and Black women
