Why Invest in Black Girls?
Philanthropy can look in a variety of different ways. Our ancestors gave what they had to assist the families, friends, and community folks. Our generation should continue to embrace giving and push for different ways of philanthropic endeavors. I see myself in every black girl that I work with. I see the potential. I see and believe in them. Investing in them is like investing in myself!
