Girlhood by BGF

With the support of Jordan Brand, we launched Girlhood by BGF - a new project offering events, programmes and creative opportunities for young Black girls aged 13 - 18.

We kick-started with a 2-week summer programme for young Black girls aged 15-17, based across London.

In 2023, we stepped things up and designed multiple experiences to inspire young Black girls to unleash their full potential. By engaging with sport, wellness & creativity we wanted to improve their self identity, help them pick up new skills and make new friends.
