Today, on International Womenâs Day, we honor the power, brilliance, and resilience of women around the world đ
And we remember this truth: the future of womenâs liberation begins with how we care for Black girls today.
The Black Girl Leadership Retreat is a space rooted in rest, affirmation, and possibilityâwhere Black girls are not asked to harden themselves for the world, but are invited to dream, breathe, and lead as they are.
As we celebrate women globally, we recommit to creating spaces where Black girls are seen, protected, and poured into. This is how we build feminist futures.
