State of the Black Girl Brunch
The State of the Black Girl is a bold call to awareness, action, and transformation. On this day, we center the lived realities of Black girls, confront the systems that suppress their brilliance, and lift up the solutions that fuel their healing, power, and path to leadership.
​
​During this event, nearly 100 of Ladies of Virtue's corporate and community partners came together to honor our girls accomplishments, recognize challenges Black girls face and chart a path forward for a brighter future.
