About The Program
Empowered Black Girl is a conference for Black girls in the Vancouver lower mainland area of British Columbia between grades 8 -12. The program was created to provide a platform for Black girls to interact & have empowering discussions with Black women to promote representation and provide resources for different aspects of daily life. Program Focus Areas Community Development: Social support theory, intersectionality theory and participant statements all emphasize the importance of community to mental health. It is with this understanding that EBG create spaces for open conversation between participants, mentors, and program facilitators. EBG participants also build community through 1:1 and group interactions during programs. Personal Development: EBG hosts workshops that cover topics like goal setting, emotional intelligence, and vision board exercises. The goal is to provide the necessary tools for participants to manage their own personal development journey effectively. Health & Wellness: Industry professionals teach mindfulness meditation sessions and breathing techniques to expand our participants stress management toolkit. Informal Mentorship: One of the projected outcomes for EBG is mentorship, and within our community there are women with professional and life experiences who are qualified to offer informal mentorship. During the program we encourage participants to make these important connections, EBG will facilitate and monitor the process.
