@ TLHS-Wednesdays during tutorial in the Wellness Center
@ SRHS-Fridays during tutorial in the Wellness Center
The primary objectives of the BGG are to:
Create a Safe Space: Establish a safe and confidential environment where young Black girls can share their experiences, concerns, and emotions related to racism in a predominately white school district without fear of judgement and/or discrimination.
Empower and Educate: Equip participants with some knowledge, tools, and strategies to confront bigotry, develop self-esteem, build the fortitude to stand up against racial discrimination in a meaningful way.
Foster Inclusivity: Promote self-confidence and celebrate our diversity within the group, encouraging the young women to value their authentic identities while developing a sense of belonging to a larger community.
Cultivate Leadership: Develop leadership skills, and empowering them to become advocates for justice and equality in their broader communities.
Collaborate and Network: Give opportunities for the participants of the BGG to network and collaborate with others who have similar challenges.
