​For far too long, well-meaning educational practices and policies have ignored the social and emotional lives of girls of color. Given the current landscape and the impact of COVID-19 on families, communities and our collective sense of wellbeing, it is crucial that we provide girls of color with the space needed to practice self-care and self-compassion. 
  
We offer girls of color the safe space to surface resilience in a healing-centered and gender-responsive environment. Experiences of girls of color are not on the periphery—they are centered.
