meet our BLACK GIRLHOOD STUDIES fellows
The Justice for Black Girls (JBG) Black Girlhood Studies Fellowship is a collective of undergraduate Black girl students who center Black girlhood & feminist theories in their research and work. The JBG Black Girlhood Studies Fellowship engages Black girls as scholars and theorists of their own experience. This fellowship becomes a space for Black girls to unapologetically engage the radical brilliance of leading Black girlhood studies theorists. Here, Black girls are the entry point into Black girlhood studies, scholarship. and research. Meet the genius authored by past fellows below.
