BGF Studios presents
A Saturday School empowering young Black girls to thrive in creative careers, sports and culture.
PURPOSE
Girls who play after-school sports are 50% more likely to get top jobs.
Systemic gaps in participation, representation and leadership mean many never see a path forward.
Creative sectors and sport still exclude, under-represent, and fail to support growth for Black girls.
Black girls want opportunities- they aspire to sport, creativity and leadership.

Built For This is a Saturday School empowering young Black girls to thrive in creative careers, sports and culture.
