Earlier this month, the
@SouthernBlackGirls and Pete and Thomas Foundation hosted a conversation with the winners of the
#BlackGirlJoyChallenge focused on mental health and wellness.
@TheeStallion made the surprise announcement to the group to confirm that they had been selected for the joint
#BlackGirlJoyChallenge!
100 young girls and gender-expansive youth across the southern United States were chosen and will be awarded micro-grants for submitting compelling and creative ideas to spread joy and positivity within their communities.
Thank you to
@Nike for providing gift bags and for making this initiative possible.
We look forward to sharing updates as they complete their ideas in 2024. To learn more about
