Investing in Black Girls’ Futures

Black women and girls across the South are getting a powerful boost this summer—with $350,000 in grants to 24 organizations tackling maternal health, violence prevention, and education. Amid shrinking funding and federal headwinds for diversity initiatives, this push by the Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium is a bold act of solidarity, affirming that Black girls matter now more than ever. Rooted in history and fueled by the “Joy and Justice” tour, the effort celebrates Black women’s enduring leadership while building bridges for a stronger future as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
