The opening to Journey of a Black Girl merges the core of self-expression and the innocence of adolescence. Integrating everyday rituals and practices passed down through our ancestors, Phase I is dedicated to the moments when we learned we are black. Phase I will consist of the following events:

This Crown Belongs to Us.  During this activation, a community-based project is held to create workshops on hair braiding and invites women of various communities, nearby neighborhoods, hair stylists, college, high school and elementary students to participate in making 18 ft long braids with various materials. Mission is to increase sisterhood bonds with multiple ages, sharing of stories and learning a skill that carries on over generations.
