The Black Girl Manifesto

The Black Girl Manifesto•podcasters.spotify.com

Believe your voice matters. Speak with purpose and light. Uplift those around you and inspire the next generation. In a world where Black girls’ voices are often muffled in the shuffle of life, we must make way for the next-gen to find their own, sometimes quicker than we did. This podcast is dedicated to the young girls we used to be, who felt they had no voice. On this show, we may cry, we may laugh, but most importantly we will heal and be heard. Join us as we navigate our twenties, find our voices, and grow into powerful Black women. New episodes every Wednesday.
