The Issues We Address:

Black Girls Lead Too (BGLT) exists because Black girls deserve to be protected, celebrated, and invested in. Our work addresses the systems and conditions that too often limit Black girls' ability to thrive.

    • Rising mental health challenges among Black women and girls

    • Suicide prevention and emotional well-being

    • Burnout, chronic stress, and adultification

    • Access to culturally responsive mental health resources

    • Adultification

    • School Pushout & Criminalization: Educational inequities

    • Lack of Black girl-centered learning experiences

    • Limited opportunities for civic education and leadership development
