BRAVE girls from Southern Africa are in NYC to host the
1st ANNUAL BRAVE GIRLS* FESTIVAL:
A Day of Radical Sisterhood & Leadership for young women
BRAVE, Girl be Heard and GGE invite girls from across NYC to come together with BRAVE girls from South Africa, Tanzania and the US for a day of exploration, workshops, and sisterhood, organized with and by girls (and some pretty incredible women). Join us for dancing, live music, filmmaking, more dancing, photography, storytelling, meditation, yummy food, and opportunities to exchange stories and ideas with girls from around the world who are committed to change just like you.
EXPLORE what is at stake for girls around the world.
SHARE YOUR STORY through writing, video, and poetry
DEFINE FEMINISM for a new world.
DANCE YOUR EMOTIONS
CREATE RITUALS around sisterhood to bring back to our own communities.
LOVE in ACTION through meditation, yoga and more.
CONNECT with visionaries in politics, law, architecture, journalism, science and more.
SPEAK YOUR TRUTH
WRITE a manifesto for yourself and girls worldwide.
* BRAVE believes in practicing radical inclusivity. Girls* refers to gender-expansive youth and we invite all girl-identified youth to bring your fullest selves! Workshops and conversations will be geared for ages 13 and up.
Each year BRAVE trains underserved girls as journalists and activists, then takes girls between the ages of 14-18 on road trips to interview other girls, meet other girls, leaders, and organizations working to improve the lives of girls and their communities, and produce digital stories and films to raise awareness about what they learn. The South African girls, who live in some of the most dangerous communities in the country, write a weekly column for the Cape Town newspaper and other national publications, as well as for the United Nations Girl Education Initiative blog (see attached examples, and you can also see the first officially published piece, written by Anna and Rabiya from Tanzania, here. )
