The Black Girl Project

The Black Girl Project  is a growing movement that began as a film by Aiesha Turman, an educator and a filmmaker, amongst many other things. The film is a work of immense love that took her, and her small media company nearly three years to complete. Once completed, Aiesha realized that The Black Girl Project was much more than a film, but could be built into something more, so she received fiscal sponsorship from the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization in order to do more work surrounding the Black Girl Project, and thus, the BGP.org was born.

The mission of The Black Girl Project is to use the issues discussed in the film–Identity, Obstacles, Goals, Love & Sex, Family and the Media–to help build critical thinking, inspire dialogue and empower young women and girls.
