Hear from the 1st Cohort!

  • "It’s important to learn about social justice topics because it lives in the lives of black and brown girls."

    Camille J. (Cohort 1)

  • "I think Angie’s been patient with us and I appreciate the program as a creative outlet because it pushes me outside of my comfort zone. "

    Mary O. (Cohort 1)

  • "Social justice conversations are really helpful, insightful, and important to have at this age with our peers. "

    Taye O. (Cohort 1)

  • "I found the social justice topics interesting. In my life I don’t see things like that, I know of them but I spend more time on academics. So to see works of art that were about social justice was beautiful, I saw myself and family members in the art work."

    Natalia T. (Cohort 1)

  • "I really enjoyed doing this, I wish there were more programs like this for girls of color. "

    Taye O. (Cohort 1)

  • "Angie is very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated because of the type of lifestyle I have, she makes herself relatable to us."
