According to recent studies, Black girls experience significant emotional and mental health disparities. Our young ladies are two times more likely to experience sadness and hopelessness than their White counterparts. They are also more vulnerable to anxiety and depression. Because our minds and bodies are connected, the feelings associated with systemic racism and sexism can lead to poor health outcomes if not addressed. At My Serenity Sanctuary, we want Black girls not just to survive the injury of systemic racism and sexism; we want them to THRIVE!

From the moment Maya* joined Girls2Great, she was embraced by a diverse group of girls and mentors who shared similar experiences and aspirations. The program is designed to empower young girls ages 13-19 and teach them to rise above societal barriers by fostering self-confidence, resilience, and leadership skills.

Through a series of workshops, discussions, and activities, Maya learned about the importance of self-love, embracing her identity, and recognizing her inherent worth. She discovered that her voice mattered and that she had the power to make a difference in her community.

In November, through Giving Tuesday, your generous donations will help develop new programs to empower and uplift young Black girls, providing them with the resources and support they need to overcome societal barriers and reach their full potential.

Please donate today!
