The Right Kind Of Black Girl

County of Los Angeles

The historical legacy of the racial wealth divide coupled with gender and racial inequality has left Black women at a severe disadvantage. Individuals may not see themselves as racists, but they can still benefit from systems that white privilege perpetuate. This practice prevents Black families from amassing and maintaining wealth in the same way that white families could, resulting in the growth of the racial wealth gap and housing insecurity that persists today. Nearly every social indicator of well-being from income and earnings to obesity and food security, Black women and girls rank low or last. The numbers below spotlight the inequalities and resulting injustices Black women face on a daily basis as they work to obtain full economic security and to create a better life and future for their families We Know that for us to LIVE, Oppressions Must Die

We take a holistic approach to supporting Black women and girls from the Afrikan diaspora between the ages of 15 and 60 who stem from generational poverty to cultivate sisterhood by empowering women and girls of the African diaspora to lead, innovate, and serve our communities. Queens Building Queens (QBQ) program provides a space for like-minded women to connect with one another and gain inspiration, skills and establish long-term professional connections.
