BLACK GIRLS HEAL

Grant

If you’re a cisgender or non-binary Black Woman or Girl, or an organization that supports Black Women and Girls, you can apply to join the Black Girls Heal movement which builds on the success and leadership of Project DIVA, The Minnesota Black Women’s Forum, and Joi Unlimited’s Orange Method of Radical Self-Care and Healing Justice framework to provide educational resources that address the emotional and physical disparities that result from historical, contemporary, and regional oppression and their impact on and isolation of Black women and girls. 

The Black Girls Heal initiative will help Black women and girls manage and reduce toxic stress, interrupt isolation-induced feelings of depression, and proactively improve their overall wellbeing. Funding for the Black Girls Heal initiative is provided in part by the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
