About Southern Black Girls:
Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium
Founded by LaTosha Brown in 2017, Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium was created to close a long-standing gap: Black girls, women, and femme identifying communities in the South have historically been underfunded and overlooked, despite carrying so much of the region’s promise. Southern Black Girls supports the nonprofit organizations serving them across 13 Southern states, channeling resources to the communities that need them most. To date, it has awarded more than $11.4 million to over 250 organizations, and over $600,000 in micro-grants to 1,000 girls through the #BlackGirlJoyChallenge, because if you change the life of a Black girl, you change the world!
