Empowering Girls
Our work creates lasting change
The intersectionalities of a girl’s race, identity and social-economic standing makes them more vulnerable to heightened experiences of inequality.
Thats why creating safe spaces for girls is vital in increasing their self esteem and overall well being.

Roots of a Black Girl
Groundbreaking Research
The Roots of a Black Girls research stands out in that it was informed by 245 Black-identifying girls across Ontario who participated in surveys, Afro-centric Sharing Circles and test programming. The first of its kind in Canada, this study increases understanding of what is working for girls in the education system, and where they are feeling ignored, pushed out, and inadequately supported.
