The Lighthouse | Black Girl Projects Turns 5!

The Lighthouse| Black Girl Projects’ mission is to be a revelatory, unflickering light for Black girls and young women in the southeastern United States. Through focused programming and by creating spaces of solidarity and safety, our organization takes a whole-person approach to the leadership development of Black girls and women through a consortium of projects. These projects are avenues by which Black girls are centered, from the research agenda to the programming, board room to legislative halls. The Lighthouse curates spaces for Black girls with the goal of having their homes and communities as places where their safety and freedom are welcomed.

This year marks the 5th year The Lighthouse | Black Girl Projects has been researching, creating, programming, reviewing, challenging, and changing the landscape of the south for Black girls and women. We are commemorating this milestone—celebrating our 5th birthday!
