This past weekend BET taped their Black Girls Rock program. The show, which airs Sunday November 7 @ 8PM EST, highlights the accomplishments of women of color who’ve made great strides in their careers and stand as positive role models in their communities.

 

Since 2006, BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been dedicated to the healthy development of young women and girls. BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Inc. seeks to build the self-esteem and self-worth of young women of color by changing their outlook on life, broadening their horizons, and helping them to empower themselves.

BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Inc. is an organization that takes an active role in being a part of the solution to the crisis facing young women of color. For the past four years, we have enjoyed the opportunity to enrich the lives of girls from 12 to 17 years old through mentorship, arts education, cultural exploration and public service. At BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Inc., young women are offered access to enrichment programs and opportunities that place special emphasis on personal development through the arts and cooperative learning.

 

Black Girls Rock! Inc teamed up with BET to bring us this special event.  Below are a few pictures from the taping:
