Born Brilliant. Always.💜💙🖤🧡
Every month is Black History Month, but on February 21, we pause to say it out loud. Our children carry genius, joy, & legacy within them. Join us as young people from across our city take the stage & remind us who they’ve always been.
Our inaugural Advisory Council meeting was 🔥! 14 leaders from NC & SC came together, united by purpose passion. We affirmed:Black is not a risk factor. Our children are brilliance embodied. This isn’t just a meeting—it’s a movement. 💛🧡🤎🖤
