ONE LINDEN

Founded in 2010, the vision of Black Girl Rising Inc., formerly known as Rise Sister Rise, is to ensure that all African American girls live lives of authenticity, equality, and resiliency. With the collective work and responsibility of women and men who care about Black girls, our girls will be self-loving, empowered leaders, and advocates for change. The mission of Black Girl Rising, Inc. is to research and evaluate the ways in which Black girls experience their lives, especially in the areas of trauma and resiliency; to serve as a catalyst for institutional and policy change that will enhance the likelihood of improving outcomes for African American girls and their families; and to create programs, products, and services that will encourage community engagement with a focus on change and collaboration, to influence the quality of life of Black girls.
