Brownstone is proud to announce our first partnership with The Black Girl Project. The Black Girl Project is a nonprofit organization founded by Aiesha Turner that confronts the issues that most-impact girls head-on all within the context of being a Black female in an ever-changing world. BGP originally began as documentary film about Black girls and the diverse lives they lead (the good, the bad, and the in-between)and has grown into a movement to uplift, support and nurture Black girls everywhere. BGP provides tools, guidance and support for girls to prepare themselves physically, socially, emotionally and culturally for the responsibilities of young adulthood. Through literature, the arts, individual and group work, along with a host of interdisciplinary modes BGP helps bolster self-esteem, critical thinking and leadership skills. We feel that The Black Girl Project is the perfect partner to help give a voice to the stories we tell here at Brownstone. Stay tuned as we feature more work from BGP in the upcoming months.Check out some snippets from BGP's film here. Also, help support them as they raise funds to expand the BGP film and create materials for educational outreach. You can help donate on their Kickstart page.
