Pretty Brown Girl (PBG), a 501c3 organization founded in Detroit, is empowering girls of all ages to reach their fullest potential. This month, Pretty Brown Girl was featured in New York Magazine as one of 9 youth-oriented community organizations that should be supported in Black Lives Matters initiatives.
The tragic event involving George Floyd and the Minneapolis Police Department in May 2020 has advanced the American sociocultural conversation about race to an inflection point in the country’s history. With unprecedented vigor, citizen and corporate actions are underway in many forms including education, dialogue, policy review, protests and partnerships. Since Pretty Brown Girl’s feature in New York Magazine, both individuals and corporations globally have been actively donating and exploring various ways to help elevate girls of color within the organization.
“With the vision that my husband and I have for Pretty Brown Girl, we’ve always known that we needed a tremendous amount of support in order for us to build a sustainable, global platform to uplift girls of color. The collective response to the racial inequality has created a tremendous shift for Pretty Brown Girl that will enable us to expand our work,” says Sheri Crawley, Founder of Pretty Brown Girl.
