Listening to the Voices of Black Girls in Columbus, OH and Beyond: An Educator’s Call to Action

two Black girls embracing

The recent death of Ma’Khia Bryant was not only heartbreaking but another reminder of the work educators and communities must do to make Black girls matter. Join this panel of experts and educators as they discuss both challenges and opportunities to ensure Black girls are seen, validated, and treated with dignity in schools and beyond. Panelists will offer rich perspectives and strategies that center and humanize Black girls.

This FREE event is geared toward educators and school leaders and is open to the public.

Stay tuned for a follow up conversation: Listening to the Voices of Black Girls in Columbus, OH and Beyond: A Community Call to Action. Speakers TBA
