Tik Tok. We're putting 12 hours on the clock and dreaming big.

Because it's time to see Black girls winning.

This year's Black Girl Rally we're focused on youth entrepreneurship and addressing the disparities, successes, and solutions for Black women-owned businesses. How do we come together to fill gaps, break down barriers, and support our future Black entrepreneurs? There's a place at the table for everyone during this three-part, twelve-hour Black Girl rally!

Part 1: We All We Got

For girl-centered programs and Black girl champions

Join us for Continental breakfast and collective brainstorming to uncover gaps and opportunities across our respective resources and networks to decide collectively how we can partner with each other. Our goal is to transform the girls’ service sector in public schools and discuss implementing your individual programs by becoming a partner and being a part of a collective power to uplift all girls and eliminate systemic barriers to their dreams and success.

Part 2: Something to Chew On

For youth development employees, educators, social workers, parents, and girls centered program leaders

Enjoy boxed lunch and book discussion with “Finding Her Voice” authors Angela Patton, Dr. Faye Belgrave, and Ivy Belgrave. The discussion will be led by researcher and GFAC supporter Dr. Lauren Mims and will be followed by an activity from the book led by its illustrator Austin "Auz" Miles.

Part 3: Black Girls Winning

Black girl Rally for high school aged youth and female entrepreneurs

We're bringing together some of the region's most successful entrepreneurs to share their secrets to success and engage in real-time problem-solving around barriers to success for female entrepreneurs. We’ll kick the rally off with dinner and a welcome gift for every girl. As you dig in, you’ll hear from a panel of entrepreneurs who will be sharing their entrepreneurship journeys. Next, each table will problem-solve together with a powerhouse entrepreneur to help guide you. Aliyah The DJ will be spinning sound throughout the evening and Coach Nickey will keep us hyped. We’ll end the rally with a performance by Rap-Unzel!
