The 2023 "Breaking Barriers, Building Resilience: The Path to Empowered Black Girls Conference," presented by Black Girls Smile, is a 3-day virtual conference focused on topics, discussions, and activities to empower the mental well-being of Black girls. The theme is "The Art of Balancing and Building Together" and all of our sessions are focused on equipping Black girls and women with tangible tools, community, and resources to empower them on their mental health journey as they build deep and long-lasting relationships amongst themselves and those who play important roles in their lives. We also have tracks for parents and caretakers focused on ensuring they have the necessary tools to support the mental well-being of the Black girls and young women in their lives.
"I am honored to be part of the Black Girls are Magic conference this year. Growing up, having access to certain resources and to be connected with others similar to me was very limited, so to be able to give back and be part of a community that prioritizes mental health and well-being for young black women is a joy, and something I do not take for granted. I am looking forward to meeting these incredible young women.”
