Description

The culturally unique experiences of Black girls within their families, schools, and communities can influence their self-concept from a young age. Historically, Black girls have displayed resilience amid all of the social "isms" they encounter. Black girls need to be equipped with tools that help them maintain their strength, confidence, and resilience without jeopardizing their wellness and livelihood. Join the girls experts at Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX) in this three-hour CEU opportunity to gain culturally inspired strategies that empower Black girls to build and develop confidence, pursue leadership and promote their overall wellbeing.
