The Black Girl Global Justice Initiative

Overview

The Black Girl Global Justice Initiative engages Black girls in academic and policy work that centres Black girlhood.

All participants will be equipped with lessons in Black Girlhood, creativity, activism and advocacy. Together we will expand JBG’s Black Girlhood curriculum to include the unique experiences of Black British Girls and demand global justice on behalf of Black Girls.

As a participant, you will have the pleasure of working alongside Black girls from the USA on a project centred around Black girlhood, cultivating a space of sisterhood and security, where your voices are heard and valued. The virtual space will not only be rooted in Black Girlhood but also will lead to curating an event for 2021where we will host ambassadors from JBG in London.

Topics include but not limited to: An Introduction to Black Girlhood, Intersectionality, Identity, Adultification, Black Girl experience of education, Cultural Appropriation & Respectability and Black Girlhood and Black Girl Safekeeping + Healing/Liberation.
