Black Girls Smile is raising money for an Atlanta community space

From Black Girls Smile· Instagram · Nov 5

“Children don't have to be productive to be worthy of care. They don't have to be exceptional, well-behaved, mature, or helpful to deserve attention, support, and understanding. And Black girls are no exception. They deserve to be cared for simply because they are children. They deserve room to play, explore, make mistakes, ask questions, and figure out who they are without having to prove their worth. As we work to protect Black girls' right to experience girlhood, we're also challenging the expectations that too often ask them to grow up before their time. This year-end, we're raising funds to establish a dedicated community space in Atlanta where Black girls can access resources, build relationships, and experience the support and community they deserve. Her worth isn't measured by what she can do for others. Protect Black Girls' right to be. Make a year-end gift today. Link in bio.”
